AM-241 disk alpha source
The AM-241 is a passive Americium 241 disk alpha source. The WLx-AM is the AM-241 disk source mounted in a holder that is designed to mount to the WLx. The WLx-AM is used to verify the operation of the WLx.



Adobe (tm) PDF file RN-150

RN-150 active radon gas source
The RN-150 is an active radon gas source that can dispense precise quantities of radon gas. The design allows for multiple samples to be obtained from the unit. This source may be used to provide radon gas to sealed detectors to allow for the calibration and verification of various monitors.







Adobe (tm) PDF file RN-190 / TH-190

RN-190/Th-190 Passive Radon and Thoron daughter sources
The RN-190 and TH-190 are passive radon and thoron daughter sources respectively. Each offers geometric and spectroscopic characteristics that are virtually identical to a filtered air sample. The exposed filters obtained from these sources allow the for calibration and verification of various monitors.







Adobe (tm) PDF file RGS

RGS series
The RGS series of sources are sealed gamma sources that use radium as the source material. This general purpose source may be used for the calibration and alignment of gamma spectroscopy systems.







Adobe (tm) PDF file 2000A

2000A passive radon source
The 2000A is a small, general purpose, passive radon source. It may be used to provide radon gas for sealed enclosures.










Adobe (tm) PDF file RN-1025 / TH-1025/ RNC

1025 and RNC general purpose flow through sources
The 1025 and RNC are general purpose, flow through sources. The RN-1025 and RNC are radon sources while the TH-1025 is a thoron source. The 1025 sources are available in a wide variety and range of activities.
