Protactinium Generator

This is a video on how the Protactinium Generator works and the results you can obtain.

I live in the USA, and these aren't available here, and they'd be too expensive! Well, I _FINALLY_ made a Pa-234m generator! I used 2.5 g of uranyl nitrate, 7.5 mL of distilled water (to dissolve it), 17.5 mL of conc. hydrochloric acid (ACS grade, 37.5%), and 25 mL of methyl isobutyl ketone, and carefully added this to a 60 mL leakproof polypropylene bottle, and it works spectacularly! I use the Inspector USB Geiger-Müller counter with the Observer software, and I get about 120 CPM for background from the Pa-234m generator, and about 3500 CPM at about 2 cm. It works great! It has internal and live datalogging, and it has autoaveraging, and when that is activated, it gives an even more precise result! The exponential decay curve is SO smooth and precise! Thank you very much for sharing this video! 👍
