Re: Rad Sources for Workshops
Hi Wade, I wish you well on the workshop -- I wish more of this could happen around the State. Is there any reasonable way you might obtain and use of smoke detector elements as sources?

We'll be providing the teachers with survey meters (typically GM - similar to old Civil Defense meters). What we also need to provide these teachers are "radioactive sources". Commercially available sources are not an option since the schools have blown their budgets for this year - it may be an option in coming years. Fiestaware is rare and expensive. I'm thinking old radium dials might be an option but we will have lots of teachers and will need a good number of them. Old military dials might be available at surplus stores but our chapter budget is limited.
