Re: Rad Sources for Workshops
Please tell me you're joking.
In any event, before taking apart your smoke detector, keep in mind that:
1. An intact smoke detector can, with some exceptions, be disposed of in household trash. (See HPPOS-150, "Disposal Requirements for Specific and Exempt Licensed Smoke Detectors.")
2. A smoke detector source that has been removed from a smoke detector is potential TRU waste.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
