Abstract
A source of radioactive energy consists of a solid shaped body made by compressing carbon, active carbon, or graphite impregnated with radioactive material. The carbon may be mixed with powdered vitreous or ceramic material or metals, e.g. porous aluminium granules, or metal oxides. The compressed body may be sintered after impregnation with, e.g., cobalt 60, caesium 137 or other isotopes. The treated carbon body may be coated to render it impervious to gases and liquids, or it may be partly cased with a shielding layer, e.g. of zirconium metal. The radioactive substance may be in the form of a liquid or gas, when the carbon body is impregnated in vacuo. After impregnation the body may be treated, e.g. with acid, whereby the activity is concentrated in the core.
