Hi guys, my friend and I want to get some Gamma source for experienments, but all we can find are something less than 1 uCi, what we want are more than 1 Ci, can anyone tell me the way to get it? Thanks.

ejeffrey:
You can get radioisotopes of all different types from Oak Ridge National Lab.

No, actually, unless you have a NRC licence, you certainly cannot.

You can get a Corelle dinner plate with the bright orange glaze at a flea market.  The glaze is Uranium oxide, and a 1" chunk
will give you 5000 counts/minute.

ejeffrey:
That was my point.  If you should be handling a 1 curie (=3.7 * 10^10 decays/second) source ORNL will sell it to you.  If not, then you shouldn't be handling it.

ceoxrad:
If you are asking here where to find it you definetly shouldn't handle it. BTW what are these experiments you mention?
