I don't know if this is the board to go to, and I'm not doing this for research, just for fun.
Would it be a good idea if I were to take appart some smoke alarms for bits of americium, only to use them to radiate flower seeds to see what grows? I'm curious on what I could do with the tiny bits and also to see what grows from the seeds. Is there an easier way to do this other than taking apart the smoke alarms? And since it's a little ammount that I'm using (I'll make sure to radiate the plants for longer) do I still need some more than basic protection?
I'm doing this anyways, but any advice that helps would be appriciated. Is there any way to do this better?

You might end up being exposed to high levels of radiation.

get some lead into your system beforehand to protect against radiation and you should be fine

I plan on using a lead vest to protect myself, and containing a small ammount of the seeds and the americium in a small lead coated container.
I'm not completely retarted, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this, my close friend is a dentist so that'll be where I get the vest from.
I'll just take it after I'm done and store it in the same box as the seeds, maybe I'll use it later. I'm saying that for the short time that I'm exposed (taking it out of the smoke detector and transferring it to the container), would there need to be any more protection?
And it won't bee too much considering the fact that it'll be such a small ammount, I plan on leaving the seeds in there for a month.

Get yourself checked afterwards to see if you have radiation sickness

Not taking apart needed smoke alarms in your place might keep you alive.
