Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Radiological Hazard Warning THIS MATERIAL SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY PERSONS QUALIFIED TO HANDLE RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL! This product contains licensed radioactive material and is therefore subject to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 (e.g., public and occupational exposure limits, waste disposal). At a minimum, the basic radiation safety principles of time, distance, and shielding, and appropriate radiation contamination control should be practiced to avoid/minimize any external and/or internal exposure. Consult with your Radiation Safety office for your facility’s radiation safety requirements/precautions specific to the radionuclide(s) (including its activity and chemical/physical form) in this Radioactive SRM. SRM 4332E is a radioactive material, Americium-243, with a massic activity of 38.49 Bq•g in a nitric acid -1 solution. Americium-243 decays by alpha-particle emission to neptunium-239, which decays by beta-particle emission. During the decay process X-rays and gamma rays with energies from 11 keV to 195 keV are emitted. THIS SRM SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY PERSONS QUALIFIED TO HANDLE RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL!
