Uses for non-medical nuclides

[Brian Rees <brees@LANL.GOV>]

I'm looking for a good listing (or a number of listings) of uses for 

non-medical nuclides.  I can find plenty of references for medical nuclide 

uses, but not much on other uses.

As an example: "U-238 is used as shielding for some sources, as 

counterweights in some applications, and as projectile tips for 

armour-piercing munitions."



Thanks in advance,

Brian Rees
