Radiation - Sealed Source Security and Availability
The Oil Field Services Industry Forum for Radiation Safety and Security (Industry Forum), originally formed to review proposed federal legislation and regulations concerning the safety and security of radioactive sources, also attempted to address the Americium shortage crisis.  AnaLog Services, Inc. participated, but unfortunately, the Industry Forum has become inactive due to predictable differences of opinion (with a gaggle of corporate lawyers further complicating matters).  See A Word About Sealed Sources for more general information.
