Hmm. Seems someone else had the same idea, however using tritium might work as well.
It certainly makes a brilliant RNG if you use a CMOS camera and lasts 11+ years.
For those who want to try this, small tritium sources can be sourced  from any fishing shop and also from watch/airsoft repair companies.
A slightly different method I am working on uses 40K in a strong magnetic field, the idea being that changes in neutrino flux cause the proportion of B+ and B- decays to change.
This should be detectable as a change in spectrum.
A B+ decay would generate a pair of gammas which would also cause simultaneous counts.
The author should re-graph this with time weighted adjustment, so that it is a flat line.
This should also magnify any of the small changes seen, from the graph any change is less than +/- 2 counts so a lot more analysis will be needed to detect anything interesting ie new physics.
EDIT: my setup is about 35% completed, requiring another Lo-Salt recrystallized tin to work.
If its worth anything to replicators, you can get all the remaining salt out of solution at the end by freezing and a lot of the 40K is in here :)
Comments please? -A
