RE: Truck carrying 'low-level' radioactive tools crashes

Actually, there are smoke detectors that do not use radiation, just as there

are exit signs that do not use tritium.

Greetings Kai and others:



I can envision it now, someday someone will make

millions by developing a non radioactive smoke

detector that will be at least twice (or thrice)the

price of the current ones.  Just because people will

think its worth the money to be rad free in "our home"

or "at work", they will overwhelming purchase this

product like lemmings jumping into water

(Walt Disney reference).  I'll stay with what I know

works (americiumm).
