Kr85 has a 10-year half-life, so displays manufactured in the 1980's will have about 10% of the radioactivity they once had.
I recall reading somewhere that Kr85 was optional in displays; generally intended for low or zero ambient-lighting conditions. So even if your display's radioactivity has withered-away it is still operable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
