  • Patent number: 10811156
    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.

  • Patent number: 10141080
    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.
