Abstract
A scintillator package includes a housing, with a scintillator in the housing to scintillate when struck by radiation. A window seals an end of the housing to permit light emitted during a scintillation to exit the housing. The window comprises a radioactive material that is non-scintillating, and this radioactive material may be naturally occurring, such as lutetium.
