The photographic method provides a simple, positive and economical means by which radium sources may be regularly and frequently tested for radium leakage and contamination by the user. In this manner, badly leaking sources may be discovered before they cause widespread contamination of buildings, storage facilities or other areas where radium 226 is stored or used. Because of its versatility, its rapid operation and ease of use, the photographic technique represents a safe, effective system which can be used by medical and radiation control personnel for protecting physicians, patients and others against unnecessary radiation exposure.
