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.
Americium is a synthetic element that typically uses plutonium as the starting material for its production. It is commonly used in smoke detectors and in some medical devices for imaging purposes due to its radioactivity.

The "ionizing" type of smoke alarms uses Americium.
All elements have some degree of electronegativity. Americium (Am) has electronegativity of 1.3
Natural sources for americium doesn't exist.
The Russians are working on the problem of creating a nuclear reactor fuel out of americium, but they're still working the problem. In addition, they haven't built a reactor that uses americium as a nuclear fuel yet, either.
Some applications of americium are: - smoke detectors - source of neutrons, alpha particles, gamma rays - nuclear densimeters - calibration of gamma rays spectrometers - initial reactant for nuclear reactions to obtain heavier isotopes
Americium is an artificial chemical element, man made !
Americium is an artificial element, a natural source doesn't exist.
