Some information about handling of radioactive sources:

1. Source Kits SK-1X, SK-1G, SK-1B   ~ 1 microCi. May be handled with fingers.
2. Source Kit SK-1A and weak alpha sources  ~ 1 microCi. May be handled with
fingers but care  must be taken not to touch the radioactive spot.
3. Any sources sealed or unsealed    > 10 microCi. Use tongs or other devices.
Do not handle directly.
4. Neutron sources 1-3 Ci. Use tongs. Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer or those required in the license application.
