Title: Kevin J Schehr - Innovator in Gamma Radiation Source Manufacturing
Introduction: Kevin J Schehr is an inventor based in New Orleans, LA (US). He is associated with Source Production & Equipment Co., Inc. Although he currently holds no granted patents, his work in the field of gamma radiation source manufacturing is noteworthy.
Latest Patent Applications: Kevin J Schehr's patent application titled "Radioactive Material Having Altered Isotopic Composition" outlines a method for manufacturing a gamma radiation source. This process involves providing an unacceptable material that is a combination of acceptable and unacceptable isotopes. The unacceptable material is transformed into an acceptable material by removing the unacceptable isotopes, leaving only the acceptable ones. The application details the mixing of selenium-74 with the acceptable material and heating the mixture to facilitate inter-reaction. The reaction product is then subjected to irradiation to convert a portion of the selenium-74 to selenium-75. Additionally, the application mentions the possibility of adding at least one other acceptable material to the mixture prior to heating. The unacceptable materials listed include Zinc, Titanium, Nickel, Zirconium, Ruthenium, Iron, Silver, Indium, Thallium, Samarium, Ytterbium, Germanium, and Iridium.
Conclusion: Kevin J Schehr's contributions to the field of gamma radiation source manufacturing demonstrate his innovative approach to utilizing isotopic materials. His ongoing work and patent application reflect his commitment to advancing technology in this area.
