Hello everyone. Have somebody ever dealt with Sn-125? Could you give any information on the usage of this radionuclide?
Thank you in advance.

According to Wikipedia, it's got a half-life of about 10 days, so it's about a million times more radioactive than the radium that killed Marie Curie. Be careful.
