Californium applications - neutron source to start-up nuclear reactors (Cf-252) - neutron source for neutron diffraction instruments (Cf-252) - neutron source for neutron spectroscopy instruments (Cf-252) - raw material for the preparation of heavier chemical elements (Cf-249) - source for portable neutron activation instruments (Cf-252) - source for radiation therapy with neutrons (Cf-252) - source for neutron radiography (Cf-252) - source for moisture detectors (Cf-252) - source for gold and silver detectors (Cf-252) - source for analysis instruments of coals, cements etc. (Cf-252)
Some of the uses for californium are: help starts nuclear reactors....!
Californium is not for everyday uses.
Californium chloride has not uses now.
Californium has not uses in everyday life.
Californium-252 is used to treat some cancers.
Californium commonly forms compounds such as californium oxide (Cf2O3) and californium chloride (CfCl3). These compounds are primarily used in scientific research due to californium's radioactive properties.
Californium typically forms compounds with ligands to stabilize its high radioactivity. Some common molecules containing californium are californium chloride (CfCl3), californium nitrate (Cf(NO3)3), and californium dioxide (CfO2).
Californium is used to treat some cancers by neutron irradiation.
I'd look at some of the radioactive heavy elements. For example Berkelium, Californium, and Americium.
Some applications of californium: - neutron source as Cf-Be source - neutron source for neutron activation analysis (portable installations) - neutron radiography - irradiation for some cancers treatment - nuclear fuel rod scanning - neutron source to detect water, petroleum, metals, methane etc.
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.
Some smoke detectors contain californium. It a radioactive neutron emitter and is a man made element.
