Americium-241 has been produced in small quantities in nuclear reactors for decades, and many kilograms of 241 Am have been accumulated by now. [4]: 1262 Nevertheless, since it was first offered for sale in 1962, its price, about US$1,500 per gram of 241 Am, remains almost unchanged owing to the very complex separation procedure.

Nevertheless, since it was first offered for sale in 1962, its price, about US$1,500 per gram (US$43,000/oz) of 241 Am, remains almost unchanged owing to the very complex separation procedure. [30] The heavier isotope 243 Am is produced in much smaller amounts; it is thus more difficult to separate, resulting in a higher cost of the order US ...
Americium-241 is the most common isotope of americium in nuclear waste. [8] It is the isotope used in an americium smoke detector based on an ionization chamber . It is a potential fuel for long-lifetime radioisotope thermoelectric generators .
Americium hydroxide is a pink solid [1] which is sparingly soluble in water. [2]Due to self-irradiation, the crystal structure of 241 Am(OH) 3 decomposes within 4 to 6 months (241 Am has a half-life of 432.2 years); for 244 Cm(OH) 3 the same process takes one day (244 Cm has a half-life of 18.11 years).
