Gamma Radiation Detector, Testing
Brad wrote:
Hi,
I bought a used "Radiological Meter" (gamma radiation detector)
recently. Note: I am an electronic service technician. The instrument is in
good condition, but I have no way of knowing if it actually can detect gamma
radiation without a source.
I know some smoke detectors use a radio active "particle". Could this
"particle" be a good source for gamma radiation?
Thanks in advance, Brad
smokes are alpha, americium 241. I cant think of any convenient gamma
sources, other than a nuke reactor, if you ever go near one on your
travels.
