I am having a bit of trouble with an educated research person who is afraid
 of radiation.  He wants a measurement of Fe 55, - to which I said "not possibl
e" and he's concerned that his 7.4 GBq sealed source is generating bremstralung
from the lead or stainless capsule - to which I said "it's probably beta".
 This is not my area of expertise, can someone enlighten me on measuring these
 things?
