There are a few other neutron sources listed below. This is taken from http://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/doe/rdd-7.html which is a list of all the things you...
Geo, Thank you for the new link. I had Decay Loaded but it never worked 100 % with With Windows XP. This version works as intended. Chris Cavanaugh ...
Pebbel beds have the advantage of on line refueling which means that you don't have to shut down the reactor to replace the fuel. As the balls circulate, ...
Because of the online refueling capability, the core of the PBMR doesn't have to have additional fuel in it to allow for burn up over months or years. That's...
A few questions from a long-time lurker...now that we have moved, and I have an entire basement to fill up with odd bits of equipment, it is time to start...
If you can find the type number of the PM Tube, you might be able to also find a data sheet on the web for that particular tube, with operating voltages,...

AC-3 ( alpha only probe) works on 600-1200V > run a plateau to find the optimium. 900 should work it at least somewhat. Not all meters will read the output of...
... FWIW when I was reading about CANDU reactors that is apparently a feature of their (horizontal rod) design too. ... Yep, and probably sunk in the ground...
... Space travel idea: take a 'solar sail' and coat one side with an alpha-emitting isotope. The alphas escaping will push the sail forward. The problem is...
When 1 GM tube isn't enough... use 24! "This Nucliometer model DR-290 is a portable gamma-ray instrument employing 24 Geiger-Mueller tube counters." eBay...
Some idiot named Joe Vialls seems to think that the terrorist bombing in Bali was caused by a "micro nuke" delivered by American and Israeli special forces....
Glanced over the article this morning, The last photo looks like they are using a scintillator, a pancake probe, and possibly a geiger with an internal...
I had no doubt from the start that Viall's rantings were driven by his anti-Western political views. I just couldn't help but make fun of his lack of...

DL, I have some Muller's egg noodles. Do they work? :-) ( idiotic response to an idiot [JV] ) I guess he forgot about fission fragments. Did you happen to...
This weekend my wife and I went to an antiques show and I found a couple of radioactive items. The first was a genuine HLC Feistaware plate, that I snapped up...

I have other pieces of "orange ware" and have sold them on eBay (lots of betas). Going back to the glass bowl, what really strikes me as unusual is a lower...

Geo is correct on the AC-3 alpha scintillation detector. You should have 10 mv sensitivity, but normally the pulse height of this probe at 900 V is about 40...
The use of thorium is in the glass, not as a coating, as I understand it. This glass is pretty radioactive. The index of refracton and the clear glass make it...
