Your grandparents ATE off radioactive plates. But why? @Radiacode

Uranium was used in decor much of the 20th century!

Uranium compounds were used to create vibrant ceramic glazes, producing the bright reds, oranges, and yellows that became popular in tableware and decorative items.

Many of these pieces ARE still around today, and some can produce surprisingly strong readings compared to uranium glass due to their higher uranium content.

I believe this is a great reminder that radioactive materials were once used in everyday objects far more casually than most people realize. How far along we’ve gone, huh? 🤔

Your grandparents ATE off radioactive plates. But why?

Innovative back then, unfortunately was not widely known that they were radioactive! #radium #clock

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

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?
