If you're in the US, it actually is possible and legal to order small quantities of radioisotopes even today.

Just note, they DO NOT ship internationally. And if you try to order 10,000 disk sources, you WILL be getting an angry knock on your door from the NRC.

Huh and how many discs would it take to make a small generator for a house so I can tell my electric company to fuck off LMAO

For legal reasons that was a joke

Talk about inflation! These atomic rings were only $0.15 in 1947! And those disks for polonium210 are $120

Kind of cool but i wouldn't know what to do with it and i don't need an expensive hobby lol
