How to collect uranium

!!!The most important aspects of safety!!!
Key things to reduce exposure:
1. Shielding
2. Time (of exposure)
3. Distance
Key things to keep safe:
1. Minimize exposure if possible.
2. Always wash hands and wear gloves.
3. Never allow inhalation or ingestion of dust from samples.
4. Keep samples away from children (anyone, actually) and only bring if necessary
5. Never store samples under your bed (not sure why they do, but apparently people do this lol)
Good books:
Introduction to Radioactive Minerals - Robert Lauf

Places to get a Geiger counter (including recommended models):

he forgot to mention the radon risk wich is high depiste the isolation in the plastic cube. The more uranium ore you have the more radon you'll get. You will have to have a radon detector and ventilate the collection often. Also dust from uranium ore when you manipulate the minerals are a big risk too (that why we keep them into sealed bags or boxes.)

Excellent work

Can you please do a follow up explaining the legality of purchasing uranium? Do I need any special licenses to do what you are doing?

[@RADscouter]

Where did you buy the glass vials and the plastic boxes?

[@plutoniumiscool]

What is that thing you use to glue the specimen to the plexiglass?

[@geigerfever784]

You can use blue tag, silicone Adhesive glue and many more but through my experience blue tag or silicone works the best

这些石块会不会在家里产生氡气😮

Dude you’re slow. The whole thing should have taken 3-4 minutes :)

[@geigerfever784]

No because I covered everything to do with uranium handling and storage

Nice! Thank you! And what about dust from rocks? The big one rock on paper in your vid have a dust around (little pieces). How danger this little dust? And how danger keep this rocks in hands? They give dust on your hands? (sorry for my English)

[@Djmatrane]

No dager. You just will have lung cancer after dust around.
