| 31. | Americium-241 is an ?-emitter with a weak ?-ray byproduct.
|
| 32. | A fourth patient might have been injected with radioactive americium at UCSF, the report says.
|
| 33. | Americium is used in smoke detectors, and several transuranic elements are used in nuclear medicine.
|
| 34. | Americium is a highly radioactive element.
|
| 35. | Divalent americium is obtained only in dry compounds and non-aqueous solutions ( acetonitrile ).
|
| 36. | But it is possible to purify the plutonium bearing the americium by a chemical separation process.
|
| 37. | The inherent safety of an ADS, however, would allow americium to be safely burned.
