Radioactive Items in a Household and Everyday Life

Ғылым және технология

In this video I demonstrate some radioactive items that are (or used to be) a part of our households or everyday life. For example, Fiesta Ware dishes, uranium glass, thorium lantern mantles, smoke detectors or radium watches. I use my 1962 military Geiger counter RBGT-62 and my homemade digital Geiger counter with an alpha sensitive (mica window) Geiger tube to measure the items.
Warning: Those items may be dangerous, especially when broken or opened!

    I remember when I was a kid in 50’s and watched our alarm clock under the guilt. It looked so beautiful. And that explains why I am so bright. Hehehe. You have one sun glasses lens over the seven segment display. That’s good idea , must keep that in mind.

    Save those silver bags you get hard disks and some Chinese packages in, and on eBay i often buy from chips-fans because so far they've packaged everything in antistatic bags... Anyway you cut a piece out, and glue it on LED displays to hide the red/white plastic and make them look good. Nicer than sunglass lens.

    Nice! What models/calibers are those watches? I have quite a few radium watches; mostly Soviet watches with radium. It looks like you have 2 Маяк (Mayak) watches and a Победа (Pobeda) watch. If so, then I have that one with the black dial, with the white track that goes around (except at the 6 o'clock position). Also, those americium-241 sources are "sealed sources". They won't come apart unless you really grind or file them up. The Am-241 is pressed between thin gold foil.

    Only if you stuck them near your head for many years but I still wouldn't eat anything off them. When the plates have hot food on them it might make some of the radioactive paint (trace amounts) be ingested. It's not alot but it makes a difference if using it for a long period.

    These sources are nice, but not that dangerous at all here. Avoid ingesting any of it somehow, especially inhalation, like removing the radium paint. Nobody should worry about these. I have a collection of sources, and I look for the hottest sources I can find. I have almost 500 μCi of Am-241 alone. You won't get radiation sickness from items like these. Dangerous would be in _roentgens._ Not microroentgens or milliroentgens per hour. That's low level.
