Some applications of americium are:

- ionizing source for smoke detectors

- component of neutron generators as Am-Be

- source in nuclear gauges densitometers

- standard source of radiations: gamma, alpha

- source for gamma ray radiography

- precursor to prepare Cm, Bk, Es, Db,No, Lw

- laboratories uses

Other uses are proposed for the future.
