whodat New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 7:57 pm just joined to post this.... I have a medallion just like this one from my grandfather for 35 years of service. He got it in 1990. There was a piece of paper under the medal that says: "Presented by the Government of Canada for 35 Years of Service. The enclosed medallion was produced by the Royal Canadian Mint, renowned the world over for artistic excellence and quality craftsmanship. Struck from a sterling silver blank, the medallion is finished by hand to give it a distinctive appearance. Please note that excessive manipulation may affect the medallion's special protective coating, resulting in permanent damage. Avoid unnecessary handling." Report this Post to the Staff

You need to store them in a 'hot room' until enough time passes when it is safe enough to handle indiscriminately? This is really a misconception. The US Atomic Energy Commission used to irradiate silver coins as souvenirs ; the activity was never hazardous, & would die away in a few minutes to almost nothing. In fact, to get good measurements, you have to quickly transfer the specimen to an instrument which is heavily shielded to keep out external radiation, which would otherwise overwhelm the weak signal from the induced radioactivity. I'm looking at the possibilities of X-ray absorption spectrography... Report this Post to the Staff
