Russia and China are really keen on using nuclear to its fullest extent.  Wish the U.S. could be the leader again.  Good article.

wood a person wit a ni63 pacemaker bee able two work inn a controlled area of a nuke?

Pure beta emitter, I would think yes.

Considering that my son needs a new pacemaker every 5 to 8 years I'd really love to see the US head this direction.  I know that every replacement is a little harder on him.

aye was wondering a bout the fluorescence x rays from da beta interaction wit a ti case...

oh stop!!!!

flourescence x-rays!?!?!?

with enough energy to incur enough dose to make nuclear power plant employment an issue?!?!?

let's just think about that,....

Maybe the N-Rays

Ni-63's betas are so weak we can't even see them with a frisker. During our annual source leak checks we have to send smears of the Ni-63 sources used at the Security trap to chemistry for liquid scintillation.

sew they're wood bee zero gammas from electron capture? oar err those gammas sew week as two bee attenuated by the surrounding titanium?

I remember doing that at Fermi. Used a Styrofoam smear. Liquified the smear and a 24 hour count on liquid scintillation.

...and I thought leak checking radium sources was weird.

same for tritium and C14,...

and others,...
