A while back we were discussing the B5092A tube (aka 122P224). I knew I had found a document about the safe handling of these tubes, but I couldn’t find it again. Well here it is http://etler.com/docs/bsp-archive/024/024-723-801_I2.pdf
That same directory has other excerpts from 801, most of which seem to concern the safe handling of tubes with various additives such as beryllium oxide in the 416C tube, and radium bromide in tubes like the 346B (replaced with the 346C which only contains Kr85). Here is a nice excerpt from http://etler.com/docs/bsp-archive/024/024-700-801_I4.pdf regarding sending these tubes by parcel post (no more than six tubes in one package). They say that this has to be stamped on the package: RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL GAMMA RADIATION AT SURFACE OF PARCEL LESS THAN 10 MILLIROENTGENS FOR 24 HOURS NO SIGNIFICANT ALPHA, BETA, OR NEUTRON RADIATION Not sure if I could get that past USPS :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
