Radioactive Stuff // 2015 edition

You may own radioactive stuff already without knowing it. In this video I show and tell about a bunch of radioactive stuff - ranging from everyday items to more specialized, hard-to-find items.

You know it's bad when even your Geiger counter screams out in pain.

[@theraq226]

yea haha

[@crambo205]

WOAH, That pseudoscience on those pedants scare me...

[@the_mentaculus]

Here, hang this radiation source right over your thyroid gland!

[@TheKnaeckebrot]

this fuckin amulets give you ~16 mSv/a ... thats like working in a nuclear plant ^^

[@MultiSciGeek]

Same here. You think we would stop after Hiroshima but nah

[@terryh.9238]

imagine those poor pets wearing the radioactive pendants!

[@louistournas120]

It reminds me of a case where it was discovered that a ordinary stapler was radioactive. It turns out that the company had filled the inside with sand to add weight to it and it was actually monazite containing sand, which has ThO2.

[@kumachu3649]

I feel like I got radiation poisoning from just watching this

[@maixwaix6740]

well you did not because it takes 25,000 MR to get you sick

[@ivarandamy1499]

Kumatine totally

[@loquenlucas9060]

Steve so need some rad away only 60 caps

[@tamaragaber]

well, computers and smartphones also amit radiation.

[@tigereyemusic]

I used to live in Aberdeen as a student. Because of all the granite buildings (it's known as the Granite city) the background gamma radiation is somewhere around 40% higher than the rest of the country.

[@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_]

I don't know it it is really smart to make those radioactive lava samples pendant-shaped. Someone stupid enough might actually wear them.

[@kagi95]

Oscar Scheepstra people wear them to cure cancer... oh the irony...

[@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_]

kagi95 Well, so this is really cool! :D

[@chriss6356]

Oscar Scheepstra alpha and beta particles are not harmful unless they are ingested or inhaled. these decays are almost always alpha or beta decay

[@slugworth1987]

+Physics Only the device measures hard beta and gamma... no alpha is detected

[@colecolerobomaster]

I find it funny that some people make a big deal over Brazil nuts when random stuff is more radioactive

[@techsbyglebbagrov7470]

[@GiorgioCapocasa]

A very engaging and beautifully narrated video. Thank you for sharing this stuff with us!

[@thelamb288]

Before you mentioned it, I thought; "How the hell can people sell radioactive pendants?". Prefect example of greed, no matter what the cost to others!

[@Forssa1]

[@brainiac75]

Thanks :D

[@Harlequin314159]

I would love to hear what kinds of saftey precautions you take with storing and handling these samples? Is it not very necessary (I notice the bare hands). Is there any risk to repeated handling and or storing them near your for long periods?

[@MarkRose1337]

You should wash your hands with soap after handling them. Uranium is about as chemically toxic as lead. Our bodies evolved with uranium in the environment and we're able to excrete it, but large amounts are still a concern. For the most part, besides avoiding contamination with dust, the two precautions are to keep it some distance away from where people spend considerable time (the radiation rate decays with the square of the distance), and to keep it in a well ventilated area (outside, basically) to avoid a radon build up indoors (radon is more of a risk because it gets inside the lungs). His collection is radioactive enough that he can probably detect it from several meters away. A "safe" distance is about when the dose rate falls below 1 µSv/hr. You can shorten the distance with shielding (basically, any mass), but it's not necessary when distance will do.

[@Liam8488]

Another thing to keep in mind is that alot of radiation is stopped by our skin. So being near radioactive materials like this for a few minutes won't kill you. What's extremely dangerous is when radioactive materials are dispersed in air or water. If we were to breath or otherwise ingest radioactive materials we wouldn't have our skin to protect us

[@MarkRose1337]

Liam8488 The skin only protects against alpha radiation. It does nothing to protect against beta or gamma radiation.

[@Liam8488]

Mark Rose Beta radiation isn't nearly as damaging relative to Gamma or Alpha as far as I understand.due to the radically lower mass of electrons. I think my point still stands that consumed radioactive materials are radically more dangerous than ones sitting on a table or something

[@nichtdiemama11]

A single flight from New York to Los Angeles exposes you to about 40µSv, so you could probably play with these samples every day without being in any danger.

[@ThePONITROX]

Where do you store these "Radioactive Stuff" ?

[@shadic187]

In the refrigerator.

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for watching :)

[@JustSomeGuy489]

Ironic, everyone is so scared of radioactivity, they don't even realize they encounter radioactive objects in their daily lives. You've just got to stop worrying and love the bomb, is what I say. Oh and, what's that ominous music you used? I recognize it... S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

[@trippybruh1592]

Found the Children of Atom follower 🤣

[@Al3311998]

So if the pendant is dangerously radioactive, I can't see how keeping it right on your chest would be in any means safe..

[@MarkRose1337]

Very cool video! Those samples sure beat anything I have!

[@Nipunsayswtf]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing!!! I'm gonna buy one of these radiation measurement things and check my dinnerware in case any stuff at my home is radioactive too. Those pendants and dinnerware sets should be clearly labeled as radioactive! It's kinda scary!!!

[@alkistihara3188]

I have a question: Since the counter detected dangerous amounts of radioactivity in some samples isnt it dangerous for your health too?

[@blackvalley007]

Last year at our school we had to test some radioactive material, shit got scary when the gauger counter still counted around 1600 uSv/hour even when there was 6cm of leadplate between it and the source.(source itself counted over 3400 uSv/hour)

[@brainiac75]

blackvalley007 Wow, what kind of school/university is that? Sources with that activity are to my knowledge not common among pupils :)

[@blackvalley007]

It's a school in holland called bernardinus, tough it was a yearly event of an university, since it is prohibited for a school to have such materials laying around.

[@brainiac75]

blackvalley007 Ah OK, that makes sense to me. I would also be careful when handling sources with millisieverts/h :)

[@shadic187]

Holy shit, your school got a mini nuclear plant in a box? A LEAD box?

[@Sypaka]

Back in the days, where they made glass from Uran. Aside from having radioactive material embedded, those glasses are really nice to look at under UV light.

[@AttilaSVK]

This video made me wondering if the 33x45x5cm "Viscount White" granite slab underneath my record player is radioactive, and if, how much.

[@PabloLeautaud1]

Really interesting video! Definitely subscribing to your channel… Two questions: Can the SOEKS detector display counts per minute (CPM)? And also, what is the font you used for displaying the mineral’s names and formulas? It’s beautiful!

[@brainiac75]

Thank you :) No, the Soeks cannot display CPM. The Gamma-Scout can (CPS or accumulated counts in a given period). The font is called Lao UI.

[@pvc988]

I was waiting for: "Warning! Hazardous radiation levels detected."

[@nahman3810]

[@gillianwallace3781]

Hello. i am not gillian walace, but do have a question... How do i calculate the radiation compared to backround radiation. For example: if the avrage backround usv/h is 0.10 and the radiation fron my sample is 37.0, how much would i be exposed to radiation, and how would i calculate it, with like, a calculator.

[@wolfcatsden]

where do you find all your samples. i have a old gauge war time gauge counter i like to find radioactive things with

[@aflappincod]

Could you perhaps put these figures into context in terms of how dangerous some of these items could potentially be?

[@magicstix0r]

"...it's tiny, but still has a larger, more sensitive geiger tube..." .... That's what she said ...

[@AhnafAbdullah]

Personally, I think anything below 100 microsieverts/hour is not dangerous if you only hold it for a few minutes or hours And I'd quite happily wear that lavastone pendant, it's just like wearing a piece of granite

[@matth23e2]

Richard Frank You'd have to absorb 126 days worth of radiation from it to die, but your body will heal itself before that. (from the 1.66 microseivents one)

So as most of these came under "Dangerous Radiation" levels, where do you store them? Away from your house?

[@gooscarguitar]

+Ben J Alpha radiation is stopped by only a sheet of paper and has a range of only a few centimetres in air. Beta radiation is a bit stronger, so maybe some of the samples are in a lead box.

[@TheNotSoGoodGamer007]

What is a good sensitive geiger counter to get? Hopefully one that can detect Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rads.

[@mrkiky]

How radioactive is that rock? It says 320uSv/h but that's as high as the meter goes... Ah! 320. Not great, not terrible.

[@sirMAXX77]

I would not be wearing that pendant around my neck and would he a hard pass on the ceramic bowls too. I would be worried just keeping those red hot rocks around my house. Do they give off heat, more so than just a normal river rock?

What would happen if you put your radiation detector thing in a microwave and turned it on?

[@OtherworldJudge89]

I'm also aware that radioactivity and microwaves aren't necessarily the same thing lol.

[@johannesvahlkvist]

Borka223 im fairly certain it detects alpha too, but yea

[@GoddardsJournal]

johannes the stalking biscuit only if it has a mica window, thin enough to allow alpha particles in. I believe the SOEKS in this video does not have one.

[@brainiac75]

Microwave radiation is non-ionizing so a geiger counter doesn't detect it. But it would probably fry/melt the electronics so don't do it :)

[@brainiac75]

***** Yes, geiger counters are usually quite far from the full story unless you are measuring a Cesium-137 sample. I would get a higher reading if the samples were 'unpacked' and measured including alpha radiation. But with an energy-compensated scintillator I think most samples would score a lower reading.

[@burmesebeef]

do those sample emit a combination of gamma, alpha, and beta radiation? or do they emit just one type?

[@cometchris1090]

You should make a video where you test and show things that are radioactive or emit radiation that we may have or use on a daily basis. Like what you did with the dog tag and the set of dishes.

[@weirdmeisterinc]

why the gammascout jumps to zero at the 320µsv piece? (at 10:10) thats not normal, its not too much for that device (when its too much it shows "overflow") maybe there is something wrong with the tube voltage regulation, it needs to rise the voltage at higher counts

[@JAKOB1977]

Braniac75 I got the feeling you pretty much on call with the scene when it comes to equipment. If you in today's market should pick out a dosimeter to check radiation in big and small for just general usecases and fascination with testmeters. are there one that stands out and does most and is a good purchase as of 2Q 2019. I can see you have the Soeks from a couple of seasons back and new revisions have arrived. Cheers from Denmark.

[@stepanfilip60]

Oh some of your samples are from czech republic. I am czech too :) your videos are awesome :3 and your voice is so cool :) i am happy that I found you on youtube. :)

[@TommieDuhWeirdo]

Also, do you recommend the Soek you used in this video? You said that the product stated that it can detect up to 1,000 microSv, but maxed at 320.

[@brainiac75]

+Tom L Hi. I do recommend the Soeks Defender. It is a tiny, handy little radiation detector and not too expensive. It doesn't detect alpha radiation but is good for low activity samples with beta and gamma radiation.

[@brydenpearson5733]

I have a sample of uranium from the Mi Vida mine that is 3 in by 3 in by 2 in and when I place the probe on the hottest part of the sample with the beta shield open in reads 10,000 CPM and 15 mR/hr. This is by far my hottest rock and the one I least expected to be very radioactive. It is most likely pitchblende. Is a rock of this size with readings like this at it's surface a concern? I plane to store my samples in 4mm acrylic air tight containers in order to block most beta and some gamma. I am using the cdv700 6b I talked about above for these readings. I was taken aback by these readings on a rock that I wasn't even expecting to be radioactive, any recommendations?

[@brainiac75]

Bryden Pearson 15 mR/h or 150 microS/h is fairly hot and should be treated with respect. I would make sure not to be close to it for many hours a day. That is: don't wear it in your pocket, as a pendant etc. Don't store it close to your bed or favorite place on the couch in the living room. All my samples are stored in my garage but I may be overcautious due to my large collection... Also be aware of the radon build-up. If the container truly will be airtight the radon will not escape but you will have radon + radon daughters build up inside the container making it quite contaminated.

[@brydenpearson5733]

brainiac75 Thanks for the fast response, it has settled some of my concerns. I am not insane enough to carry a rock that big around even if it wasn't radioactive!

[@justalucario4384]

Where did get the Pendants? They look pretty intersting.

[@DarylSkinner]

Where can I buy one them counters

[@SoulFoxie]

Because of all the radioactive stuff you own I imagine you'd have to have them all in their own section of the house isolated and far away from where you typically are right? Otherwise it seems dangerous to have it all together sense it'd essentially turn it into a high concentrated form of Radiation right?

[@verruekterPhysiker]

Hi, I don't know if youre still active, but can you tell me where you got these little bottles with Cerite and thorionite?

[@brainiac75]

Check my channel - I'm definitely still active :) I bought the samples from en eBayer called natural.philosopher but the store doesn't seem to be active anymore. I'm sure you can find something similar if you search eBay. Thanks for watching!
