Some people might not appreciate the text-to-voice tool that I use, unfortunately it is a necessity, I currently live in mainland China, so a degree of anonymity is helpful and in addition to that I have a natural voice that is "perfect for print". I would love to be able to hire a voice talent like Simon Whistler, but I somehow doubt he is interested in an unpaid job like narrating for my little channel.

The check source is Strontium-90, a very dangerous substance. The main danger from this substance is if it is somehow ingested, as this will be taken up by the body in place of calcium. At the very least, gloves should be worn when handling the check source and it should only be removed from the storage container in the work area. Never disassemble the source holder.
During experiments, I use a lead sheet to keep the source shielded when setting up and breaking down the experiments, so it is only exposed during the few seconds of the actual experiment. I also try to be never in the path of the beta radiation, standing to the side when the source is exposed.
The actual radioactive material of the check source, appears to be contained in a foil. After all these years, that foil is still nice and shiny and does not show any signs of corrosion. This is probably due to two reasons, (i) the foil is made of something like stainless steel, and (ii) the waterproofing of the unit is very good and forms an airtight seal so it has seen reduced exposure to oxygen.
Many thanks to @VEGA64TCGC for the valuable information that you supplied, datasheets, a white paper and numerous photographs. Your research was really detailed, I learned a lot!

There is an error in one of the images on that site, someone has added a graphic showing the scale in uG/h, but it is actually Roentgen/h. The Chinese character, 伦 (lun) is used for Roentgen and for Grays, the characters 戈瑞 (ge rui) are used, so this just appears to be mistake translating from Chinese into English. The time units are the same, ie /时 (shi) meaning hour.

I am guessing that the number of YouTube watch hours that this video generates will be lower than that actual time I have invested in this myself, it is after all, a fairly specialist subject. That's said, the payback is in the knowledge gained...

We might as well put the lead back in gasoline, given that so many people are losing their capacity for rational thought.
I live in southern China, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many of my friends left China. So, I started this little channel as a way to keep in touch with them. My first videos were about the situation in China and were all showing the area around where I live. After that, things have grown a bit but the objective remains the same - friendships.
