Potassium-40 isolation

well, the first stage would be to extract the potassium(all of it) from the bananas(limiting yourself to bananas seems a really crap way of doing this, why not just but a big lump of potassium).

 

once extracted, you'll need to vapourise the potassium and centrifuge it to seperate the isotopes(and this'll only work slightly) and get enriched potassium-40

 

to be honest, there are better, cheaper and easier methods of getting beta-emitters.
