Re: Any radioactive materials aboard ISS?

No, no, you've got to BEWARE

in the smoke detectors.

Nope. Remember, ISS has all those honkin' big solar panels? They're
not ornamental. Maybe eventually ISS will have some minor radioactive
materials on board for experiments, as do many labs and hospitals on
Earth, but ISS doesn't have much in the way of research facilities
yet.
