You are right, Eric. Some of the charged particles in the space environment are VERY high energy, comparatively speaking. For example, the photons from...
... Yes I misspoke, its the effects on the monkeys of the heavy ion rad that is unknown. The rad itself is measured and being emulated by the big machine....
... But they are much more heavily charged ---there are nova shooting iron nuclei at us! Think about the LET (energy transfer) values of those suckers....
Hi George,  I'm not sure if it might not be due to an availability issue related to how source "suppliers" are able to package their product. Perhaps this...
Right on the mark, Revtkatt. Those charged iron nuclei moving at sub-light speed compared ot a beta particle (electron) is like comparing a bowling ball at...
Button sources are what I was meaning, although they also sell needle sources for cloud chambers.The "solid" buttons or discs are created by dripping liquid...
... ... Your excellent post reminded me of how info-security works. You can email from an insecure to a more secure node, but zero information goes the...
those are licensed sources. Called Generally Licensed. Such as in a smoke detector or static eliminator brush, Exit signs. Licensed for use in those items and...
Radioactive exhaust is no problem in space. Just keep EVA away from the back of the engines! Use conventional booster to get it into space, then fire up the...
Static-Master Brush 1" (or refill) are selling on Amazon and ePay still ! http://www.company7.com/library/staticmaster/AlphaIonization.p.pdf The half-life of...
How does tritium contaminate? Once the traser is broken doesn't it just float away and disperse in the air? Isn't clean up a broom and dustpan to sweep up the...
They want you to scrub the air with soapy water... ... -- Nick A "You know what I wish? I wish that all the scum of the world had but a single throat, and I...

Tritium also binds to some surfaces. Stainless steel is one, I've been to a lab clearance were there were about 20 modern mass spectrometers that they could...
Sure, chemically, anything that H does, H3 does. Isotopes (same # protons, different # neutrons) always behave the same chemically. If they have a different...
The inhalation dose factor for molecular tritium (HT) is 6.67E-6 mrem/uCi, or 0.00000667 mrem for every microcurie breathed in. If you oxidize that tritium...
I bought a TSA PRM-470P. Works ok but would like a manual, drawings. I found manuals for PRM-470B and PRM-470cgn but those manuals bear little resemblance to...
... I am a little confused here. You break a traser, it dissipates, and way up in the stratosphere gets oxidized (UV helps) and so enters the biosphere....
... Except that there are small useful differences due to mass. Cf Zipp centrifuges. Lawrence's cyclotrons. Diffusion. And for hydrogen, you can extract...
Since we were going to Las Cruces Saturday, I decided to take along the PM1703M. It's about 65 miles from here in Alamogordo to Cruces, and I-70 goes right...
in late 1954 or early 1955, my father who worked on V-2, and Viking missiles at White Sands sneaked out to the Trinity site. It was off limits then, but I...
... My neighbor across the street has lived all his life here in Alamogordo. He was 8 when the Trinity event happened, and he remembers it, although all he...
