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
- laboratory uses

Other uses are proposed for the future.
