ionization smoke detector
The "ionizing" type of smoke alarms uses Americium.
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.
Americium 241: Smoke detectors, thickness gauges, neutron sources, gamma or beta rays sources; also americium is a potential fissile material.Possible use in the future of the isomer Am 242 m as thermal source.
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.
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.
The chemical symbol of americium is Am.
Not sure about portons but americium has 95 protons.
No. Americium is an actinide.
Americium is an artificial element; americium don't exist in the nature.
Finding a device that uses a notification system is not very challenging to do at all. A device that uses a notification system is a cellphone that has alerts.
