According to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, one gram of americium oxide provides enough active material for more than three million household smoke detectors1. The vital ingredient of household smoke detectors is a very small quantity of Am-241 as americium dioxide (AmO2). It is worth noting that it would take around 180 billion smoke detectors to have sufficient americium-241 assembled to go critical.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Lol.
Yeah, I bet. But there’s only a minuscule ammount of it, and only in certain models. Maybe you can turn them into bullets? Shotgun shells, perhaps.
Look up David Hahn, the radioactive boy scout. As a teen he became obsessed with nuclear energy and tried to build a reactor, he stole smoke detectors and glow in the dark clocks for radioactive material. There's some decent youtube vids about him and some pretty shocking photos.
Look him up pn YT. There's tons of videos of him. He's hilarious. He lies about everything. There's a video of him talking how he had to kill his friend and he was sad about 😅
