Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
42 words
In a radioactive core, an improved protective plating disposed over said core comprising an alloy of gold and from about 0.10 to 25.0 per cent by weight of an element selected from the group consisting of cobalt, cadmium, nickel, copper and silver.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
42 words
In a radioactive core, an improved protective plating disposed over said core comprising an alloy of gold and from about 0.10 to 25.0 per cent by weight of an element selected from the group consisting of cobalt, cadmium, nickel, copper and silver.
