NUREG/CR-1156, "Environmental Assessment of Ionization Chamber 
Smoke Detectors Containing Am-241,"  was issued in 1979.  It's packed 
with information and may be useful to you if still available.  We 
also have on file "The Facts Concerning Ionization Smoke Detectors" 
from the Ionization Smoke Detector Information Bureau.  I'm not sure 
of its issue date, though our copy arrived in 1983.  It's fairly 
short and I'd be willing to fax you a copy if you're interested.  For 
other interested folks, the Information Bureau address at the time 
the booklet was published was 2101 L Street, N.W. Washington, D.C.  
20037, and its phone number was 202-457-8400.
