Another way to look at that is "enough for about a million* dirty bombs" which is why you will never get hold of it.
* The million is a baseless guess, but the point stands
15 x 10^23 Si nuclei to decay per year.
I may have lost track of the zeroes, but about 5X 10^ 16 Bq
About 2.5 million times more than this

About 1.3 MCi or about a million million smoke detectors' worth.
Nope.
