Chemical Form of Strontium Sources

["David W. Lee" <lee_david_w@lanl.gov>]

Dear Radsafers:

My question is directed primarily to anyone familiar with the actual manufacture of radioactive strontium sources.  Specifically, what is the typical chemical form of the strontium?  Is it typically strontium chloride, strontium oxide, etc.?  Thank-you.  Best regards  David
