No.1555
I hypothetically have an AmBe source. It has a little under 180 uSv/hr in gamma/beta emissions measured maybe an inch away from the source. It's made of 230 smoke detectors, 12 g Be and 115 g depleted uranium. I think it has 300-700 n/s - pretty weak. I came here for tips on how to make it stronger. It's in a bag right now all crushed up and mixed together. Just want tips. Nothing dangerous, just maybe not so legal curiosity.
