How to safely handle common radioactive elements Uranium 1: Wear protective clothing on every part of your body, extra protection for vital areas. 2: Use a tool for extended grip, as to limit your proximity to uranium. 3: Remember to thoroughly clean all lab equipment and protective clothing after you have finished. Plutonium 1: Consider your life and all you would be throwing away. 2: Do not handle plutonium.

There are quite a few (100+) people in the USA fitted with cardiac pacemakers powered by about 2.5Ci of Pu238. This gives off about 80 mW of heat sufficient to power the device for a long time (half-life is 88 years). When the patient eventually dies, the device is recovered and reconditioned for another person who needs one. One man was offered a battery-powered replacement but he refused as it would require minor surgery once a year, and he preferred his plutonium one!

08:40 "Plutonium is a fascinating metal." That's an understatement! What a shame that Pu is so dangerous. Among its strange behaviors is that some of its alloys -- e.g. Pu + rare earths -- partially remelt upon cooling (via inverse peritectic reactions). After further cooling,of course, those alloys become completely solid.

Time is limited by metabolic processes, so it would be wiser to apply one's attention to garnering knowledge of one's interests, if given the choice.

Oh, certainly. I read the plutonium book referenced early in this video (owned it since before this video was uploaded). It's made quite clear that scientists dealing with radioactive materials were thoroughly cavalier, even though they definitely had a grasp of the hazards. The ones who were careful simply had a higher incidence of cancer later in life. The ones who were not... well, you only have to watch a documentary about the lives of the workers at Chernobyl to understand how things went for them. You don't immediately die but you suffer a manifest degradation of livelihood. Like getting older decades ahead of schedule, with all the attendant symptoms like heart failure. People who undergo chemotherapy can relate.

@@stephenverchinski409 Don't believe everything you read, and make sure you understand it before you spread it around. There was concern that the somewhat elevated levels of americium (Am) found after the Cerro Grande fire (May 2000) might have been related to activities at the Lab. However, it was later shown that the Am found was due to fire detectors (they contain Am) that were burned in the 400 homes that were destroyed.

As a retired expert in Plutonium I can say the information that Plutonium as being man-made is incorrect. It was discovered in southern Africa that a small natural "reactor" made a small amount of plutonium naturally. Pitchblende, a natural mineral that contains Uranium, emits neutrons through the fission process and the neutrons emitted also make trace amounts of plutonium in the mineral so every natural sample that contains uranium can also make small amounts of Plutonium . Therefore Pu, should be listed as a natural element... Steve Miller retired Scientist

what's also incorrect is that the video states that metallic Plutonium is radioactively toxic because it's an alpha emitter. Human skin will block alpha particles quite readily. What's actually the toxin danger is Plutonium oxides and salts, which are similar to but more toxic than other heavy metal oxides and salts, say lead or mercury salts. And even those you don't want to get on your skin, let alone ingest.
@jwenting4 жыл бұрын
@Carpet Hooligan the amount of Pu in pitchblende is very small. Pu does exist in nature but the amounts are extremely small as it's there as a fission product rather than pristine ore deposits. THOSE have long since fissioned away because of the far shorter half life of Pu as compared to Uranium.
@salmonkill74 жыл бұрын
@Carpet Hooligan yes and no. the distinction between natural and man made is debated. Some in the scientific community think if some atoms are found on Earth then its natural. Others put a natural abundance limit on natural elements but two natural elements on the Periodic chart are very rare also. In my opinion if its found naturally in any amount it's a natural element...

It burned for several days, releasing large amounts of radiation into the outside environment.

Sorry 33 years old, just went back to school. From what I remember, scientists can’t determine where an electrons position is but someone figured out the “octet” rule. How is this possible?? Jeez I have so much to learn
@jimsagubigula73372 жыл бұрын
Well, it's kinda complicated. Yes, it is true that we can't know where an electron really is around an atom, at least not with 100% probability. Now, I assume that you know what the octet rule is because you mentioned it thus you know what an electron shell is. Well, an electron shell in reality is nothing more than a certain region in space where the electrons have a pretty high probability of being located. Thus, in a noble gas, there is a pretty high probability that 8 electrons are located in the outermost shell.

0:32 I'd just like to point out that this "evolved with it = tolerance; manmade = no tolerance" claim is nonsense. We _don't_ really tolerate uranium well because it's still a heavy metal and thus is toxic, like lead. Uranium is still uncommon, and as such we haven't evolved to handle it (thus, it is toxic). If we're talking about radiation levels, well, natural uranium tends not to be highly radioactive (because if it was, it would have decayed away), while plutonium _is_ more radioactive. It's a selection effect and is nothing to do with evolution or whether it's artificial.
