I've got a lot of tritium as well (same reason, night scopes, front sights to guns et al), but I doubt it would be enough, don't know.

As for Polonium I have that as it comes with a lot of the 'anti-dust' brushes you get w/ photography and lasts for several years. It's enough for a static charge (which is how they are used) but also don't know about anti-bacterial concentrations.

Other ionizing radioactive material in older smoke detectors et al could be a possiblity but would guess expensive for what you actually get (they don't use much at all).

Just thinking out-loud here, the main concern that comes to my mind would be interferance w/ the computer electronics but with alpha emitters the distance is too low (and the closest you have to teh cpu would be waterblock and the copper there would be MORE than thick enough to stop that).
