The term given to any instrument, vessel or dial containing radioactive material that belongs to scientific, industrial, commercial, domestic or medical equipment.
An example of an orphan source would be the chamber containing the radioactive source inside a smoke detector that became separate from the rest of the detector. Loads of incidents where people discovering orphan sources have happened, such as 3 men in a snowy Georgian forest finding two large metal cylinders that were emitting heat and had melted the snow around them. The men decided to use them to stay warm not knowing what they were and suffered radiation poisoning.

Get the source: trust me mug.A Confidential Human Source, or CHS, is an informant who covertly provides information to law enforcement about criminals and their activities. Their names are withheld from official law enforcement reports and documents to protect their identities.
Some critics of law enforcement claim that some instances of an alleged CHS are a mere fabrication, and there never was an actual human who provided the information. These critics claim that in such cases where the law enforcement agents fabricated the CHS did so as justification for a search warrant or other similar legalities of an investigation.
