[edit] Alpha emitters

As someone who has intrest in this feild, I would like to ask a question. Would an alpha emmiter (like plutonium 238) work instead of the beta emmiters (like strontium 90). Polonium 01:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It would work if the particles can be kept small enough, as alpha radiation is effectively shielded by a few micrometers of solid material. Icek 11:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
