Imagine radioactive sand. Now stop imagining, because this is radioactive sand, generally speaking. @Radiacode

This monazite powder may look ordinary, but it naturally contains thorium and other rare earth elements!! ☢️

In this sample, the thorium-232 decay chain remains in radioactive equilibrium, which is why the Radiacode detects elevated radiation levels directly from the untreated material.

The reel also explores thorium nitrate crystallization and how radioactive decay changes over time as daughter isotopes disappear from the chain.

Nature is a lot more radioactive than most people realize. 😸

The gamma spectrum misled us. But if you look closer…

$One of the RAREST elements with a cool property! What even is lutetium? Lutetium is the rarest naturally occurring rare-earth element and one of the last elements to be discovered. In its metallic form, it slowly reacts with oxygen in the air, which is why samples are often stored in sealed ampoules. But lutetium also has another interesting secret however… A small fraction of natural lutetium exists as Lutetium-176, a radioactive isotope with an incredibly long half-life. In fact, scientists spent decades refining its value, and it wasn’t until recently that the most precise measurements became available. Using the Radiacode 110, the radioactive side of one of the periodic table’s most overlooked elements was explored! Of course, many thanks to Simon for making this video! @simonschemiebaukasten #nuclear #radioactive #elements #chemistry #periodictable$

Potassium-40 is radioactive. Which detector detects the gamma peaks the quickest?

Test food for radiation with Radiacode and gamma spectrometry! 🦐🔬

This natural mineral contains radioactive RADIUM! ☢️

More glow = more radiation? Idk. Watch this video and find out 🤷‍♂️ lol

Uranium glass is indeed uranium glass. Confirmed by Radiacode. #radiacode #radiation #uranium

UNH (Uranyl Nitrate Hexahydrate) is a uranium compound used in nuclear and laboratory applications.
