I'm a Boro-silicate laboratory glass blower. I've worked with custom uranium glass before. The trick to keep your specimens from shattering is a technique known as annealing. To accomplish this, you would want 2 separate furnaces. One for melting and the other for annieline. Place your graphite block in the aneeling furnace at about eleven hundred degrees fahrenheit. Open the door once the block and the furnace is preheated. place your spasiman On your graph light block at eleven hundred degrees for at lea half an hour. then Slowly reduce the temperature of your aneeling furnace without opening the door. Over the course of twenty four hours And till your sample is near room temperature And you should not have any internal stress anymore This process aligns the internal crystalline structure of the silica Transforming it into a stress free homogeneous mass. You will want to reduce the temperature on an inverted J curve slowly at first. But once you get past about 400° fahrenheit leaving the door closed u till it has completely cooled you should be fine - James

Most of my friends who have taken glass lampworking more seriously than I did have ovens specifically meant for this process. He's trying to make borosilicate glass (think Pyrex), but I'm puzzled since he's not using aluminum oxide in the mix as is typical from what I understand. The omission may be intentional, but it also may be in part why such small pieces were so sensitive.

Any country willing to spend some GDP on nuclear research can dig uranium out of the ground, enrich it to weapons grade in centrifuges, and voila--You're a nuclear power. That's how North Korea got theirs, without a single reactor. Hence why the argument for less reactors to stop bomb proliferation is utter nonsense, it's actually the complete opposite. Ironically, 10% of the energy created by US reactors is from old soviet warheads bought from Russia, rather reactors have done the most to stop proliferation.

While uraniferous opal is much lower (hard to find info, but never exceeding 15% uranium-bearing compounds, typically MUCH lower) and can exhibit some great phosphorescence.

Imagine stirring up a small cloud of airborne uranium from these samples without a fume hood or adequate mask (surgical masks don't cut it), and then consider the entire lifetime of every element in the uranium decay chain, and where each gets stored in the body. I've been looking for a reason why Nevada has such a low life expectancy, not sure if I've found it here lol. I emplore you reconsider the dangers of working with these materials.

But, you have to respect it, because it can wreak havoc 50 years after exposure. Heavy elements are not all too different from fossil fuels, renewables, or any other source of power like corn or beef. All of our heavy elements were created by storing some energy from merging neutron stars, imploding supergiants, etc. It is essentially stored solar power in a dense form. All of our fossil fuels were by extension just plants and algae that stored the light energy from our very own nuclear fireball, the sun, and used it to excite chemical reactions that bonded together organic molecules into long chains.

[@a.karley4672]

I like Uranium Glass too - it's very pretty. But I wouldn't bother with the leaded glass cabinet - normal glass would be perfectly adequate for the Beta and Alpha rays, and hundreds of kg of leaded glass would be inadequate to absorb the Gamma radiation. Check if the glass *really* is lead-rich. The lead *strip* used to hold plain glass panes together is radiologically useless - and that is the normal meaning of "leaded glass".

I collect uranium glass and putting it in a lead cabinet is overkill and unnecessary. People would and still do eat and drink off them. They're not gonna kill you.

[@matthewlennard963]

So im just going to drop my 2 cents here. For some background I was a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear) subject matter expert in the Air Force. The installation I was stationed at made the focus of my experience within the field centered around the Nuclear and Radiological aspect. I was curious if I missed it, or if you simply omitted wearing a protective mask whenever you were around the materials? The primary reason being the particulates of alpha and beta radiation. Its the same reason I would never drink from a glass made using uranium or any other radioactive material. Alpha particulates can be stopped by paper or skin, beta by tightly woven fabric, and Gamma rays only through time, distance, and shielding. Most people with working common knowledge of radiation tend to focus on the danger of Gamma. However within my field, we actually consider alpha to be the most dangerous form. The primary reason for this is that Gamma simply passes through your body. However, beta can and alpha does get trapped within your body upon ingestion or inhalation. This causes it to simply bounce around inside of your systems with no means of escape, continuously bombarding the vulnerable organs within your body with radiation. These particulates can be excised through ingesting compounds that bonds to the particulates, but that is something that specialized medical staff would deal with so my knowledge on that subject more general then on the matter of radiation in general. I hope you stayed safe and I would warn anyone away from being around materials that release anything above normal background levels of radiation without proper PPE.

Well, yes and no. I cannot agree more about dust particles, they can be dangerous, while alpha "radiation" (not true radiation actually, due to it's particle nature) it self, not so much. It won't bounce inside your organism as you said, because it will quickly become absorbed by nearby tissue. Problem is that dust particle, which will sit there and will be constantly producing another and another alpha particles. It will literally act like a source. Drinking from uranium glass is safe. First, it emits next to none radiation, very similar to natural background. Second, if it would emit any alpha praticles, they would be imediately absorbed by liquid inside the cup and would not find the way in your organism. About how dangerous are specific types of radiation, again, it deppends on circumstances and it is simply cannot be said that "this one" is the worst. It deppends on what you consider as actuall danger, it's ability to travel over distances and penetrate materials, or it's actuall effects. Gama radiation is most capable of all 3 to travel and penetrate, as you said. While alpha can be very easily shielded, but can cause most damage when somehow gets inside your body, again, as you said. But not because it will bounce around, but because it has strongest ionization potential. So gama is considered by many people if you get exposed to some external source of radiation, because it will get most easily inside you. While alpha is most dangerous when you inhale or digest radioactive material - like dust for example - because it will become internal source of radiation, and there will be nothing in it's way to shield it.

I know three local blowers who have screwed around with uranium glass. Al Young in Detroit probably did the most. He melted a few pots of it, at a much higher concentration than you used, and drew out bars of the colored glass. John Fitzpatrick in Ferndale got his hands on a couple of those bars. You can break a chunk off a bar, pick it up on the end of your blowpipe, and blow through it. Windy Dankoff ran pots of it at a more normal concentration and gathered it for paperweights. I have some of his.

This is because the counter can't actually differentiate between alpha/beta/gamma and it instead uses math to approximate things. This is only accurate to what it was calibrated to, and for uranium, it won't give a very accurate reading. I figured it was still better than just CPM, but I should have added that it's also not very accurate. My reading here is probably higher than it should be and the danger is being overestimated.

I do radcon for the navy. If you want to see how much of the counts are alphas, count it, then cover the glass with a piece of paper, then count it again. The paper will block the alphas and you can see how many gammas it gives off. I prefer to see it in CPM because it's showing how many gammas are interacting with the counter each minute. The micro sieverts display is the counter converting counts to an equivalent radiation level. The paper method demonstrates why alphas are not an external radiation risk. They are stopped by your outer dead layer of skin. However if you ingest alphas (which I hope you wore breathing protection) they are the most damaging as they have the highest quality factor (20, whereas gamma is 1)
