These sources can be kept in the MiniSentry-2 case with no danger to the instrument or the people around it. However, since the MiniSentry-2 is very sensitive, the source(s) should not be located near (within 3 m or 10 feet of) the instrument while it is being used to avoid artificially raising the background radiation level.
In some applications the discriminator is used as a measure of the energy deposited in the detector by the radiation event, but the MiniSentry-2 is a gross counting instrument (all pulses above the noise level) and uses the discriminator setting to distinguish between radiation pulses and weaker pulses due to other sources such as electronic noise.
