Anyone know where you can buy radium glow sheets ?

I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

Unfortunately I can only find the standard luminous glow paper. That might be fine but it has to be charged with light occasionally and the luminosity is not constant.

Good luck with your quest. Radiological materials such as radium are very tightly controlled out of fear of someone gathering enough of them to manufacture a "dirty bomb."
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I was amazed that Hamisland came up on the very top of the list. Hamisland is probably "an island of interest" now.

Now Jeff is a person of interest
Years ago I worked for a company that was licensed to use radium glow sheets. They were used for measurement of thin film metals. I wasn't sure of they are regulated but apparently they are as they don't come up as a standard consumer item. Unfortunately current restrictions make things difficult for experimenters and hobbyists. I was hoping to use a thin strip of radium glow sheet as a source for a true random number generator. I guess as an alternative a sample of Uranium Ore, a tiny chip of Americium, or a dial from an old radium clock, or a lab point source would work fine as a random number source.

How about the radioactive part from an ionization-type smoke detector?

Hello.
Do you need just a small section?
The US has had concerns over terrorists getting this material.
So, amazing as this must sound, I can get the stuff with ease in Mexico.
China is an excellent source also.
Who woulda thunk it?
