Americium
433a
Industrially used material
Most commonly used in smoke detectors and to measure levels of
toxic lead in paint samples. Also used to ensure uniform thickness in
rolling processes like steel and paper production. May be combined
with beryllium or lithium to produce a neutron source.
Barium
10.75a
Industrially used material
Used in nuclear medicine for patient attenuation correction during an
imaging technique (i.e. S.P.E.C.T. imaging) for yielding 3D information
of the patient’s internal organs, etc.
Bismuth
38a
Industrially used material
Principle use is for research and may be found as a by-product of pro-
ton reactions with lead.
Cadmium
463d
Industrially used material
