1 RADIOACTIVE SOURCES These sealed radioactive sources are mounted within a metal holder which has wire mesh across the open end and a 4mm mounting pin on the shielded end. They are supplied in a small lead castle with lead lid, which is inside a wooden box with hinged lid. These sources are sent out direct from the manufacturer. Half-life and nominal activity levels: Americium-241 (alpha source): half-life 248 years, activity 185 kBq. Cobalt-60 (gamma source): half-life 5.26 years, activity 185 kBq. Strontium-90 (beta source): half-life 28 years, activity 185 kBq. Cat No. Description Price Per

2 EXTRA LONG FORCEPS Extra-long premium stainless steel forceps/ tweezers which are strong and robust. Useful for handling radioactive sources. as well as for dissection purposes etc Dimensions 300 x 36 x 10 mm (h x w x d). Weight 90g. Cat No. Description Price Per RAD-850-100 Extra Long Forceps 23.46 ea. 3 PROTACTINIUM GENERATOR This product is ideal to show the exponential decay of protactinium-234, a grand-daughter of uranium. It has a half-life of just 70 seconds, which gives students the chance to measure and analyse the decay in a single lesson. The generator is completely sealed in a leak proof enclosure and consists of Uranyl Nitrate and an Organic Solvent. These separate into two distinct layers but when shaken together react and produce a short term burst of Beta radiation. This can be measured using a rate meter. Cat No. Description Price Per RAD-150-100 Protactinium Generator 360.85 ea. 4 RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS CUPBOARD A lockable metal cupboard, for theft proof storage of radioactive materials in accordance with radiation protection requirements. Comes with one shelf, and can be screwed securely to a wall. Dimensions: 360 x 300 x 140mm (H x W x D). Cat No. Description Price Per STP-350-100 Radioactive Materials Cupboard 247.20 ea. 5 RADIOACTIVE SOURCES STORAGE CABINET - NEW! A lockable, grey polyester coated safety cabinet, suitable for the storage of school radioactive sources and materials. This cabinet is manufactured from 1.2mm coated sheet steel, with a textured stove enamel finish, spot welded seams, and gas welded corner joints. The result is a safe, strong, corrosion resistant storage cupboard with a secure locking mechanism. Internally there is one fixed, half depth shelf and a plastic contents tray. The cabinet is labelled on the outside with a radioactive warning symbol. Dimensions 380mm x 380mm x 380mm (H x W x D). Weight 8kg approx.
