Radioactive Sources
No NRC license required
All our radioactive isotopes are legal to purchase & own by the general public. See NRC Regulations.
Sample radioactive sources are for testing the functionality of a geiger
counter and for performing experiments involving radioactivity.
These are safe, uncalibrated solid sealed sources. They are fabricated by depositing a license exempt quantity of radioactive material in the well of a 1-inch diameter (25mm) by 1/8-inch thick (3mm) plastic disk.
The well is filled with an epoxy sealing the radioactivite material inside the source.
Contains ±20% of the stated activity and are routinely compared to calibrated reference standards. Each disk is identified by radio nuclide, amount of activity, serial number and calibration date. The words "Caution - Radioactive Material" appear on the label of each source.

These radioactive sources are dropped shipped from separate location licensed to distribute radioactive isotopes.
Cloud Chamber/Spintharscope Needle Sources
These sources are used for viewing radioactive particle trails in a cloud chamber or spinthariscopes.
The needle sources are mounted in stoppers. The activity is deposited on the ends of the needles. Rubber stoppers fit into the ends of plastic test tubes for safe, convenient storage.
