Na-24, K-42 suppliers

[Les Slaback <lester.slaback@nist.gov>]

You might consider your local research reactor as a supplier.  Both are easy to make even in a small facility.  In your case MIT, Lowell, and R.I.  have very nice facilities and capabilities.

A. Mattox asked:
I wonder if anyone on the list can steer me to a commerical (or other)
supplier that is offering Na-24 and/or K-42 for research purposes? In past
we were able to obtain from NEN but they have discontinued short-lived
isotopes.
