Disc Sources
Radiation disc sources are sealed, low-activity alpha, beta, and gamma emitters used for calibrating instruments, training personnel, and testing detection systems. Compact and durable, these discs are essential for hands-on radiation safety education, equipment verification, and operational readiness in controlled environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are radiation disc sources used for?
They are used to test, calibrate, and demonstrate the function of radiation detection equipment, or for hands-on training in radiation safety and measurement.
What types of radiation do disc sources emit?
Disc sources are available with alpha, beta, or gamma-emitting isotopes, allowing compatibility with a wide range of detectors and use cases.
Are these sources safe for training?
Yes. They are low-activity, sealed sources designed to meet regulatory standards for safe use in educational and operational settings.
Do disc sources require special handling or storage?
While they are sealed and low-risk, most jurisdictions require secure storage and licensing. Always follow your local radiation safety regulations.
