Just came across the following:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/Gamma-Beta-Nuclear-Radiation-Demo-set-4-Geiger-Counter_W0QQitemZ7540655311QQcategoryZ58289QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>
VERY VERY HOT GAMMA + BETA RADIOACTIVE TEST SOURCE
MADE FROM RADIUM WATCH HANDS AND CALIBRATED IN GAMMA
mR/H and Beta CPM
(they also have a large area source and are promising
an alpha/beta/gamma watch-hand source)
They've claimed:
Hermtically sealed for classroom safety.
and
Thorium products and Radium Watch Hands are
specifically and totally exempt from any
regulation, and the only legal way to transfer
this material.
It seems to me that consolidating watch hands to make
a check source and then distributing that check source
would be frowned upon by the State of TN.
