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.
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.

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

rip to the radium girls
I have a 111B scintillator….working. Great unit!

Narrator Truman Bradley was best known in the 1950's for being the host of Ziv's "SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE".
Well apparently, Periscope doesn't like riffs of their films being posted. So, I had to remove mine.
Originally released in 1954 (note the dates on the claims at 5:17).
The first one is dated October 13, 1954. The second is September 26; the third is September 9.
You're VERY welcome!
@@fromthesidelines 3 models from 1952-1955 and the one from 0:50 and your time stamp are the 52 model
@@fromthesidelines $495 bucks back in the day so roughly $5,000 today?
Boy if you found a bunch of Uranium in this time period. There was big money in the Atomic Age
I know a song about this.....says every Fallout Player here...
No?
Just me?
"Uranium Fever". A classic tune!
That looks like fun. To bad i was born to late

Uranium, good to have something
Pours dust into hand, spreads it around & then says "this is uranium"😖😒!
OldPumpMan that’s ok, he’ll just mop it up with that asbestos blanket he has in the trunk.

There is zero danger to handling the ore. SCIENCE. Try it sometime, it helps fight that pesky anti-nuclear propaganda.
Uranium fever!
Ah yes Washington... located in Oregon.
Healthy?
So did they take over everyone's mines and/or land
Uranium is named after Uranus.
(insert Uranus joke here)
It appears North Dakota slid south 😆
The days of innocence aka STUPIDITY
This is silly even today!
