    This short film presentation has as cavalier an attitude towards uranium as girls who worked in those watch dial factories had at first towards radium.

      No relation. Those girls INGESTED radium licking the tips of their brushes over a LONG period of time. Handling some ore will have no effect. The linear no-threshold model (LNT) has been proven false BTW.

      As a hobbyist uranium collector- I can assure you there is VERY little harm provided you do your research and use proper safety equipment.

      Where do you guys source your batteries and was it kept sealed without the glass cracked to not have the sodium crystal deteriorate? Calibration disk? I hope my 111c works…

      @Tony Tony thanks I believe I’ve seen the video as well. Is the glass in yours not cracked in front of the reading gauge? And I was wondering if you have the little black calibration disk that is stored under the battery box?

    The US was extremely worried that sourcing uranium for weapons projects and energy production would be difficult and dependent on overseas supplies - hence the bounties paid for ore discovered in the US. Newer technologies and the discovery of new bodies mean there is enough Uranium to last 10,000s of years.

      yeah. You can still go looking for uranium in many places, however you won't be able to 'claim' or take any in most places, and the govt doesn't pay you for it anymore. You can probably pocket a pebble or small rock if you'd like a geiger counter check source, though.

      Spreads it, goes out back for lunch, has a baloney on rye, smokes a filter less Chesterfield. Knocks off, goes home, pats the kids on the head and the wife on the butt and finally washes his hands.

      There is zero danger to handling the ore. SCIENCE. Try it sometime, it helps fight that pesky anti-nuclear propaganda.
