Am-241 is a manmade metal that is produced from plutonium. Am-241 found in the environment is the result of Americium-241 is also used to measure the thickness of materials. For instance, a small piece of americium-241 can be placed above a conveyor belt carrying newly made glass. A Geiger counter, a device for counting alpha radiation, is placed below the conveyor belt. Americium-241 is also suitable for calibration of gamma-ray spectrometers in the low-energy range, since its spectrum consists of nearly a single peak and negligible Compton continuum (at least three orders of magnitude lower intensity).

The source of the neutron radiation is typically americium (Am-241) an x-ray emitter, in combination with the element beryllium, causing the emission of neutrons; this arrangement is called an americium-beryllium neutron source.
