Thanks for the note but do you have any URLs to
support it? I looked in deja.com for any newsgroup
discussions about sarnoff or tritium and found
nothing, then tried the same in google and never found
anything relating to it.
I am very, VERY puzzled by the statement, 'the
wavelength of the plastic contains the
radioactivity'???
Does that mean the plastic has lead or something
embedded in it? Aren't the alpha emissions (or beta
or gamma) necessary to stimulate the phosphors?
Could you provide one or more URLs that will give
details on this please? Thanks!
