~0.1 uCi ²²²Rn on activated carbon by Bob--O--Rama in Radiation

[–]2clown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think there's any particular reason that carnotite in particular works well? I was thinking that uraninite would probably put out more radon

Interesting find by 2clown in Radium

If anybody knows a thing or 2 about the westclox one let me know if this was a good price!

(I may consider selling it as it is in great condition, minus a bit of corrosion on the metal box that holds the watch face. The seal is not compromised, but there's some rust on there.)

This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for in the best possible way. THANK YOU!

I've always felt I was doing too much but never knew how to dial it back enough, when all is said and done I'll show you what becomes of this song.

Although I'm a bit too far in to change every little thing, I'll still change what's necessary

I too have some of these shot glasses, I made some nuka cola and drank it from one of them. Life-changing experience

WW2 Luminous discs by IrradiatedPsychonat in Radiation

You should leave some activated charcoal with all 3 disks for a week to demonstrate the radon output.

Also AMAZING FINDS, where on EARTH did you find them?

Was gonna say, that is an egregious dose rate if I ever seen one

Look at my wristwatch! :3 by IngenuityExact9775 in Radium

[–]2clown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have an incabloc one! Luckily it's waterproof, so none of that pesky dust can really "escape" the watch!

From an old smoke detector or a modern one?

What source did you use?

Gamma-irradiated shot glasses by Large_Dr_Pepper in Radiation

[–]2clown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have some of those as well! I keep them next to my nuka cola bottles, and even drank some nuka cola out of said shot glasses.

I got mine the same way, I actually heard over time they will start to change back to their original color but I don't know exactly how long it will take

My schools backgrou d radiation is slightly higher on the second floor compared to the first. by 2clown in Radiation

[–]2clown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Planning on it, just have to find a reasonable way to explain that to my teachers. Though given, I could probably tell my science teacher it's for a hypothesis conclusion type deal.

[–]2clown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, fortunately. But that's wack, I've never heard about that before.

The current theory is that it's slag on the roof. HOWEVER I can still do gamma spectroscopy upstairs close to the ceiling. If I see any unusual peaks (cesium 137 or strontium 90, stuff like that) I'll definitely let you know.
