RE: Tritium consumer sources

[Bruce Bugg <BRUCEB@psc.state.ga.us>]

According to Hesco, the source for the Meprolight brand of night sights,
there are 54 millicuries of tritium in their sights (which happen to be the
brand on my Glock).

Does anyone know the tritium activity in tritium watches and gunsights??
I'm trying to provide a consumer product comparsion to the tritium activity
releases from our radwaste tanks and very low levels of tritium identified
in on-site non-drinking water monitoring wells  This information is being
presented to an off-site citizen advisory board.
