Uranium in quotidian objects

Uranium can be found in some quotidian objects such as marbles or Fiestaware Uranium.

Uranium Marbles


is a glassy material. When the glass is func, is added to Uranus and turns green. Its special feature is that glows under ultraviolet light (UVA, which is long-wave ultraviolet), like a counterfeit detector (widely used in banks, bars, etc), but unfortunately it glows in the dark. Now there is no plant opens, but there have been many drinks and other ornamental objects with this material.
If you want to get (very cheap), it is better in U.S. EBAY where tropocientos looking to sell Uranium marble. "
Of course, very little radioactive (up to contain 3% of uranium)

Fiestaware Fiestaware are
The ceramic dishes that were available in various colors, made by a company called The Homer Laughlin China Co.
The funny thing is that those who are placed red, containing about 30% uranium oxide! They are highly radioactive , and also contain lead.
The worst thing is that if we take an acid food, this takes the uranium and lead, and then eat it. You see you that grace ...

Of course, those made red colo now no longer radioactive ... You can buy them from Ebay U.S. , are fairly easy to find.

red Fiestaware highly radioactive

DU

Uranium depleted uranium metal with very low concentration of U-235, being over 99% U-238 (non-fissile isotope).

is very hard, 60% denser than lead, and with a melting point almost as high as the Tungsteno.Es used to store highly radioactive waste, because although it is radioactive, its high density and ability to bounce neutrons is very high. And you have to think that the activity of uranium is very low (25 386 Bq / g, not counting the radioactivity in their products dacaimiento).

is widely used in the military, especially by his property, is pyrophoric.
If a piece of the cut-Uranium, its dust can ignite causing a great heat.
If we use DU (Depleted Uranium) as a projectile, this can be traversing a tank with this property that makes you get more heat, increasing the capacity of perforación.También has some civilian uses.

I can buy (5 grams) in United Nuclear , or I think I can buy in more quantity in Alfa Aesar. Through this you can obtain plutonium-239 using a neutron source, which as I always say I will show later that there is.


Salu2!
