So any of my 1944 and earlier collectors stuff is pre -atomic? Cool.

Carbon is not a metal but you spoke of alloying metals like it was. Alloys can include non metal elements as well. But I didn't watch the whole video to see if you clarified that.

As a truck driver i became aware of this as i delivered steel to different places they would check my loads with a geiger counter. Not to be rejected but graded as to what steel would be used for what purposes. Low background steel is VALUABLE.

That’s why China is salvaging our old battle ships and destroying our graves.

"Irradiate" is the correct term. "Irradiated _(steel, atmosphere, etc.)_". "Radiate" is to send out. "Irradiate" is to contaminate other items, usually with gamma rays. Hope this helps.

Bikini tests were atmospheric

I had no idea there was such a thing as pre-atomic steel and that it had an effect on instruments.

I don’t blame these countries for mining a resource in their waters. I do believe they should treat the remains of the combatants with dignity and offer to repatriate them to their respective countries.

Horsesh*t.

Oh! Get over it! The machines just need too be redesigned too read the starting background radiation as zero.

Word ?

If the Govs claims ownership of these still, then they need to pull them out of the water and put in a dry dock. Idk how they can claim ownership of something that they abandoned on the ocean floor , often in international waters nearly 100 years ago.. Like how Spain fights for ownership of treasure from 400 yr old shipwrecks off the coast of Columbia.

6:20 I doubt that the use of pure oxygen helps. It's normally extracted from air so I guess you get some contaminants even with the oxygen. An alternative could be to make the oxygen from water but I don't think that is practiced in steel making since it requires a lot more energy.

Battlefield steel with countless US D.U. rounds in it (Depleted Uranium bullets) is carted away by locals in the Middle East who melt it down for cookware like pots and spoons. Some of this radioactive steel can be made into products that are sold back to the U.S.A..

It's cool seeing Ryan visiting the ship. If only Drachinifel will come.

Why the sad music? You'd think she was going to the ship breaking yard.

Wow. Good video, but I have to add USS Kidd to my bucket list.

🙈 what is the reason for this (well made) video? 🤷 If you want non-radiated steel - get some new stuff.🧐 Or am i missing something here?😌

Little known concern about atomic effects that we have only one safeguard for, Prayer.🙏

Keep away from my old car nasty salvagers!

BB-62 restoration volunteer here. I just got another order of stuff to bring to NEW JERSEY on Saturday. Can’t do that for you but can send some cash. Keep up the fight to preserve, honor and remember!

Great video. I've told people this for years and it's not uncommon for them not to believe me for whatever reason.

Pre-atomic steel, what an interesting topic. I certainly learnt something today. Thanks.

Thats why they are pillaging the sunken battleships here in the Pacific even though they are war graves. Also they are ticking time bombs rusting out and releasing toxic bunker oil along with other nasty chemicals.

Turn the phone horizontal before you start and it will stay that way. 👍

I was on the USS PROVIDENCE (CLG-6) in 1968. I seem to remember the KIDD ran aground that year. Am I correct? The skipper was a CDR J.D. Skull. (?)

sreel is not a process which combines iron and carbon, it is quite thr opposite, by producing steel, you remove ever more carbon from the iron ore by burning it, where the need for air/oxygen comes from...

Fascinating. Never thought about it before. Thank you

My eyes were just glued to my TV as I was watching this! Seeing the ships actually out there sailing in the ocean is incredible, along with all of the other things we get to see the sailors doing in the video! Kudos to whoever filmed all of this footage! Lastly, seeing our beloved DD-661, although briefly, was the cherry on top!

Just found ya'll!!!! Thanks to USS New Jersey for visiting and letting us know you exist!!!

So happy with all the work yall are doing! Heres to getting the rudder back to the WWII configuration!

Kudos to the audio being better on your channel compared to NJ’s stream! Glad their team came down to visit!

Hi!!! Is the Pirate shirt available? I looked in the store and didnt see it. Thanks!

wow! I wish I was closer I would absolutely get some cool drone shots of this awesome project. Super interesting!

So cool seeing you guys together.

Thanks for the LIVE

Restore the engines and sail it around like LST 325. Would be great for folks that can't always travel to these gems.

Wow, wasn't aware that this was a thing!

Wow never heard of this

Nice to see one of these old boats still with her props! Wonder why they left them on? With a view toward possible re-activation maybe?

How long does a paint job last on a museum ship that is stationary vs. a ship that his in service and in salt water under power? Very interesting update video! Enjoyed it!

Wow I did not know that, thanks for the education 😁

Another explanation could be that the refractory lining of blast furnaces has "Small radioactive sealed sources are inserted into the refractory bricks, at different sections of the blast furnace " The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers provides a means of measuring the refractory wear rate in a converter or blast furnace.
