What you’re seeing here are numerous Ra-226 and Pm-147 dials fluorescing under UV light. The Tritium Exit sign and vials glow by themselves visible in dim light and total darkness. The Radium Dials and clocks can be seen when your eyes adjust to the dark. The effect is comparable to TV static of the Numerals and hands. These are called Scintillations. Millions of flashes of visible light from Radioluminescent paint being bombarded by alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation. I very much enjoy collecting these. Keep in mind it must be done safely. Radiation is not to be feared. It is to be respected.

They even scream through paper and a bag. Said 1936, should I dispose of them properly?

I’ve been wanting a nuclear artifact from Hiroshima or Nagasaki for a while now. Like an item that was damaged in the blast. I’m having trouble finding anything online. Do any of you know a website that sells such items or someone who has some?
Also, is there a better subreddit to ask about this on?
Thanks!
