Radioactive Cores from Industrial Smoke Detectors

I’ve wanted to test one of the old industrial americium smoke detectors against the radium smoke detector I have to see how it compares. In this video I go over the differences and show how the radioactive sources out of these smoke detectors respond differently to a couple different Geiger counters.
