Several primary factors influencing the alpha energy spectrum of ²⁴¹Am fire alarm source have been studied in order to get better alpha energy spectrum. The results show that the homogeneity and the thickness of metal surface coat and the size of active area of the source have considerable influence on the alpha energy spectrum of the source.
