How radioactive is uranium glass?



I made this uranium glass myself and it actually contains uranium. What’s cool about it is that it fluoresces under a black light, and it lets off a really nice green color. Because it contains uranium, it’s radioactive, and this can be detected using a Geiger counter.

  1. Fun fact urnium glasses ist much dangerous cause it is under neat alpha particle like silicone which stops it from killing u u can find uranium glasses in old store btw but is made incorrectly it can lead to a severe damage

  2. Interesting. Some radioactive material glows green- others literally glow BLUE. Believe it or not- the fuel assembly pools in nuclear power plants glow BLUE, not green.

    People confuse the color glows or don't even know about blue glowing ones literally probably just because of not only scenes from the episodes of 'The Simpsons'- but because the same show has oddly lasted more than 35 YEARS now. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  3. Well, I don't know, but I've been told
    Uranium ore's worth more than gold
    Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
    I've got that bug and I can't sleep

    Uranium fever has done and got me down
    Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
    With a Geiger counter in my hand
    I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
    Uranium fever has done and got me down

    Well I had talk with the AEC*
    And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
    And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
    So I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road

    I reckon I drove about 100 miles
    Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
    When all of sudden I bounced to a stop
    At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top

    Uranium fever has done and got me down
    Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
    With a Geiger counter in my hand
    I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
    Uranium fever has done and got me down

    Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
    Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
    A hunk of rock that would make it click
    Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick

    On the second day, I made the top
    And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
    The only clickin' that I heard that day
    Was the bones in my back that had gone astray

    Uranium fever has done and got me down
    Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
    With a Geiger counter in my hand
    I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land

    Well, you pack up your things
    You head out again
    Into some unknown spot where nobody's been
    You reach the spot where your fortune lies
    You find it's been staked by 17 other guys

    Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
    That bug's done caught me and I've been bit
    So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
    I'll keep right on stakin' that government land

    Uranium fever has done and got me down
    Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
    With a Geiger counter in my hand
    I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
    Uranium fever has done and got me down
