Many people who follow my page don’t realize that I also spent time staking uranium mining claims. It’s something I’m genuinely proud of, I consider myself a uranium prospector in addition to being an amateur nuclear physicist.
I began selling uranium ore as a way to fund my growing collection of radioactive antiques and to support my ongoing outreach and education efforts online. There’s a deep well of radiological history and lore behind what I share here.
Thank you for being so kind and supportive of meeeee, it truly means a lot. ☢️💕
I am following you because that is one of the most unique hobbies I've ever encountered. I have more rad training than I ever thought possible, and that I hope to never use in the field.

I have a vermillion (mercury) marbled book, one of the reasons I want my own XRF gun is so I can find more of them and of course, tons of arsenic books as well. ☣️
i do remember though that HgO was once used to glaze pottery, but for the life of me google is so messed up that i can't find an image to double check the color. they did also use vermillion in pottery (red HgS) but that stuff is vibrant red rather than radioactive red

This shade almost reminds me of my beloved Fiestaware shade, “Radioactive Red”. ☢️
The color of uranium glazed Fiestaware comes from uranium oxide (UO₃) which is formed by heating uranium peroxide and driving off water, oxygen and other volatile impurities. As the yellow peroxide is carefully heated, it will gradually change into a vivid orange oxide. If heated further, it begins converting into darker uranium oxides and loses that brilliant orange color.
Anyways, not it….but still I love this and I’m reminded of it from this, ha.
mercuric oxide exhibits thermochromism on heating, the color changes from yellow/orange to red to rusty; the inverse occurs on cooling.
thermochromic Hg salts were once used in paint industrially. as parts failed, friction generated heat which caused an obvious color change.

Today, I learned that 90% of the LSD Americans consumed in the 1990s came from a single nuclear silo in Kansas

yeah, you don’t wanna inhale the brrrrrrrrrrr ☢️
The potential for inhalation is freaking me out.

Me too, I just snagged another Art Deco style radium watch. ☢️
This is the best looking padlock I've seen. I'm a sucker for Art Deco.

That’s crazy! I wasn’t expecting Philo Farnsworths great nephew to pop up while searching for fusor stuff on here today, but I think you’ll like the nuke nerd corner if you stick around! ☢️🔥
Yeah and his brother in law (my fathers father) was the lead engineer for the communications electronics for the Apollo missions, among other things. I come from a long line of very smart and stubborn folk

The egg from which the cockerel on the left was hatched was injected with 50 microcuries of radioactive iodine on the 14th day of incubation. The cockerel on the right was hatched from a control egg. Both are 10 weeks old.

People joke that nuclear reactors are just a fancy method to boil water.
The TOPAZ reactors, which have been sent to space, instead do direct electricity generation using a UO2 core which gets hot enough to make an Mo/Nb fire electrons by thermionic emission into Mo/W.
