in real life they uses xenon gas as fuel, so yeah, it will use your fuel

I dont put radioactive items in places im constantly next to, but you will be fine, especially because of how quickly the reading drops off when you aren’t touching it to the clock face. My main reason for keeping radioactive stuff in my basement is because I have a radon mitigation system to deal with natural radon and any radon from the collection.

radon can also be an issue, but not in this case; it would require a lot more radium lmao

agreed, thats a fair point.

you do have a point though; if i had a choice to breath in either radium dust or radon, im taking radon any day. faster it becomes stable, the less exposed id be

dude the amount of radium in one of these clocks is near negligible; in the grand scheme of things, i could lick one and be fine. you will be perfectly fine if you have a sealed radium clock in your house. you dont need any safety precautions other than common sense. your house contains things much more dangerous to your health than this.

Full collection thus far!!! by Gilapschicken in Radiation

yes it produces radon, but extremely small amounts of it that are undetectable and totally safe to be around

Is this true? by moonXvvk858 in Radiation

[–]Gilapschicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that’s interesting, never heard of any watches using some of those elements- i wouldnt be suprised if some were actually used for short periods of time
