Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz On Thursday - the Question
Hi folks - I am heading for Wisconsin for a weekend of whitewater
kayaking so here is the Friday Quiz early - it will also give folks in
other time zones more opportunity to participate as I'll post the
question on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday here in the US).
The Question:
I am an element that was first produced in the 1940's. This element
decays by both alpha and gamma which poses serious safety issues when
handling large quantities. However, this element is considered an
inexpensive radiation source for portable gamma radiography of welds and
as a thickness gauge in the manufacture of glass. The alpha radiation
characteristics provide an ionization source for smoke detectors. A
typical household smoke detector contains 200 ug of this element. What
element am I?
The winner of this week's quiz will get to have Clumpy, the 8th dwarf,
work for them for a week.
So far Clumpy has:
Week 1 - accomplished nothing
Week 2 - conducted REACH material testing Week 3 - Solderability testing
Good Luck.
