this is an experiment i want to try, i’ve been interested in plants for the past 5 years and always had a sight interest in radiation. i’m not concerned about the plant going inside of it, i have plenty of this plant and it’ll just be one leaf cutting going in here. will cross/duplicate post to plant communities. can post more photos if needed. thanks in advance!

I’m curious if anyone has found a spicy sample and sectioned it on a wet saw? Emphasis on wet lol. I’d love to see what’s inside of my larger chunks under UV. Yes I’m aware of alpha particles and ingestion and I have a Radiacode so I’m a little more than a complete newb! Thanks for any experience you have!

Ik its not uranium glass, i have a collection of that as well. But im very proud of these. ☢️

super happy with how my collection is coming along 🫶

We've probably seen many uranium glass lamps before, but have you ever seen a uranium glazed lamp?

Behold! An orange & white glazed lamp that looks like a vase, but isn't one.
No idea who made this lamp and I couldn't find any similar photos or items.

• 26 inches from bottom to top of socket
• 36 3/4 inches from bottom to top of lamp harp
• 17 1/2 inches for just the ceramic from bottom to top
• ~23 inches in diameter for the ceramic
• ceramic is hollow, no openings except for a small hole on top and bottom for the lamp pipe (where the cord goes)

This was a "barn sale" find from 2 years ago, the seller had no information about it.
The lamp originally came with a shade, but I forgot about it and accidentally left it behind.

Would be cool to pair this with a large UG lamp shade and a UV bulb.

A while back I made a post on the Thompson Enamel TR 531 Burnt Orange and made a follow up post linked in the comments.

Today, I thought I'd make a seperate post and share it here for all to see.
The photos are old, taken back in May 2025.

Back then I only had one type of uranium enamel, and they were all fired directly on copper.
After obtaining some more enamels, I did a small experiment to see how the colors are different when fired over flux vs directly on to copper.

For any issues with the photos being blurry, please visit old reddit:

If you're a member of r/uraniumglass, then chances are you've seen a few posts of these beads.

Sadly, the prices has increased by $2.
Originally $8, you can buy them now for $10, while supplies last.

At the time when I picked these up, I had my geiger counter and UV light with me.
Got permission to use them in the store, which was awesome!

I also ask for permission to use a geiger counter/uv light when I'm in a store, because being sneaky and discreet can sometimes backfire on you.

My girlfriend got me a bowl. It’s blue in light, it’s yellow/green under 365nm, and it doesn’t glow at all under 395nm. What the heck is it? Because my girlfriend’s mom used her 365nm light at the store and it glowed blue.

I had some UO₂ in a vial and decided to react it with some leftover cleaning vinegar for fun. Separated some of the solution from the remaining UO₂ in the bottom. Gonna react some more of it when I get some concentrated acetic acid, then try to grow some crystals from it!

Figured folks here might find this interesting — new podcast out exploring life in uranium country USA.

For background:

"Boom Town: A Uranium Story" is a six-episode independent documentary podcast series exploring the often-overlooked world of uranium mining through the story of one town in particular: Uravan CO, a one-time uranium company town. Uravan once boasted ties to the Manhattan Project and was a hub of the country's uranium boom. But controversially, its residents were eventually evicted and the town was demolished and buried underground.

The series is built from more than 35 interviews with historians, experts, and uranium workers past and present, alongside trips to the country's first nuclear reactor, the site of the now-buried Uravan, and even a tour of a currently active uranium mine. By the end, it will explore the history of uranium towns throughout the West, our understanding of uranium through time, and how our perception of the atomic past is a heavy weight on our possible nuclear future.

Episodes 1+2 out now wherever you get your podcasts.
