I remember they tore out all the smoke detecters in my college dorm because they used a pinhead of radioactive polonium. When asked what danger the polonium posed, the college administration said we might rip open the smoke detecters and eat the polonium.

Well, now that you’ve given us the idea, sure.

Keep in mind these batteries don’t deliver a whole lot of power, however microprocessors these days can run on fairly small amounts of power too – at least if they don’t need to do a whole lot – so they’re still useful.

The Greens will have an effing coronary over a battery that contains radioactive material.

Never mind that it’s a millimeter-scale sliver of material impregnated with the tritium. It’s gonna be about the Man trying to put a WMD in everyone’s tv remote or some such.
