Sometimes the label isn’t the whole story! 🙂↔️
While clearing out radioactive storage, an old sample marked as Samarium-153 raised some questions. Using the Radiacode and its gamma spectrum, we can actually investigate what was actually inside.
The result? A fascinating piece of nuclear detective work involving irradiated samarium, decay products, and a history written directly into the spectrum itself!
Sometimes identifying a radioactive sample is less about measuring radiation and more about understanding the story behind it…
