!: RADIOACTIVITY - My accumulating so far

I have been collecting radioactive items and minerals for almost two years now so it is time to share it with you and all the other collectors on Youtube. This video took a looong time to make so I hope you enjoy it. Subscribe, rate and comment if you would like to see more. A good source of other radioactivity videos is Bionerd23's channel: www.youtube.com Best radium based collection I have seen on Youtube: www.youtube.com Captions to help you understand my danish accent :o) : OK - after that disclaimer let's take a look at my radioactive collection as of July 2011. It contains small samples with relative low activities but I still take precautions with these because of the radioactivity. Mishandling these can be dangerous and even lethal in long terms. Let us start with the thorium-based part of my collection. This includes thoriated welding electrodes and gas mantles, euxenite, polycrase, thorite in different sizes, aeschynite and iron rich thorogummite. Here I use my Gamma Scout to measure the activity of the thorogummite. I have set the alarm quite high at 50 microsieverts/hou so the Gamma Scout will start to tick over this level. This time it peaked at 89 microsieverts/hour. My normal background level is .12 microsieverts/hour so this piece of thorogummite measures 744 times normal background level - not bad. Next I'll show you my special thorite sample which is cut like a gem stone. If the grim reaper ever were to wear jewelry this would be it. Dark and deadly ...
