Nisy,



Of course there is Ra-226 which was used some time ago to paint fluorescent

"radium dials."



Best regards,

I would appreciate receiving any information (published or unpublished) on

alpha and beta emitters with half lives greater than 4 years that are used

in paints primarily for the purpose of fluorescence.



 



Thank you,
