Abstract: This disclosure pertains to a gamma radiation source, including enriched Iridium-191 and Boron-11. Some embodiments may include alloying. Some embodiments may include sintering. The resulting disk, adapted for radiological sources, typically has a reduced attenuation and a reduced cost, due to the reduction in the use of Iridium-191. Substitutes for boron include aluminum, silicon, vanadium, titanium, nickel, platinum, phosphorus and/or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A neutron sealed source holds cermet wire sources, such as Californium-252/Palladium wires, in separate blind apertures within a stainless steel block. The stainless steel block is part of an inner encapsulation and includes blind apertures arranged in rotational symmetry for receiving the cermet wire sources. The cermet wire sources are separated from each other and the fission and decay heat is rejected through the stainless steel block.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a source wire assembly for radiographic applications, particularly for guiding a gamma ray source through a tubular path, such as with a radiographic projector. The source wire assembly includes a core of flexible metal cable, such as, but not limited to, aircraft cable, which may include wires and/or strands which are woven, twisted, helix wound or braided. A distal end of the source wire assembly is securely engaged to a Radioactive source capsule assembly while a proximal end of the source wire assembly is securely engaged to a connector housing for connection to driving equipment, such as, but not limited to, a push-pull operation associated with a radiographic projector, which may include source wire locking and safety mechanisms.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a radiographic shield incorporating a radiographic shutter mechanism, and a protective jacket for a radiographic device. The radiographic shutter mechanism includes machined tungsten components which in some embodiments, includes a jigsaw puzzle type interconnection, the radiographic shield includes an S-shaped passageway in combination with the radiographic shutter mechanism. The protective jacket allows for various mounting configurations, such as integrated SCAR mounting configurations, including a ratchet snap configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an insoluble cesium mixed multimetal oxide, ceramic, glass-ceramic or glass which is intended to be a replacement for cesium chloride or similar materials used as radiation sources. Additionally, this insoluble compound could replace other insoluble lower specific activity cesium compounds used in industrial, underwater, and underground/downhole application because it would allow the use of older lower specific activity cesium stock solutions. The disclosure further provides a method for the cesium to be recovered from cesium chloride sources.
