Cool, I visited that same site about 7 years ago, and I remember that exact same hotspot under that tree root! I did not brink a uv light, and did not collect any specimens because I couldnt find any with visible mineralisation.
That's pretty cool. I actually lived there a while without knowing the hotspot exsited. I definitely need to return and make some measurments with my Radiacode. There also supposed to be a deposit at another location close by. But I think I read that they drilled 10 meters into the ground. so it's probably not accessible.
Nice video! I'm glad not everyone here treats U ore like a certain utah youtuber... If you want to do more experiments with what you have I recommend investing in a gamma spectrometer and taking some spectra of your activated carbon every few hours, that way you can nicely watch the equilibrium build up. Or you let it soak for a few days and then graph the decay with your geiger counter, that way you can get some nice decay curves.
So genau kann ich das nicht sagen. Es ist aber echt in Ordnung für den Hobby gebrauch. Das kommt drauf an wieviel Geld du ausgeben willst. Das Teil kostet um die 100 euro, oder was ich jetzt habe ist ein Radiacode, der kostet momentan 300 irgendwas und der ist Energie und Temperaturkompensiert und denmach weitaus genauer und kann auch mehr.
it is so pretty under uv light, it is like the milky way on one of those stones. if you need a experiment you can try to see how the radioactivity changes when you make it slightly wet(take precautions), typically that has the possibility to temporarily increase radioactivity. just make sure you don't accidentally bite someone now, otherwise they turn in into furryman or furrywoman and get a entire superhero movie franchise. but really cool, now I want to find some uranium as well. and quite funny you look quite a lot like me. only while I seem have thicker hair I need it to be longer.
@@thesciencefurry I am not a radioactivity expert, so I don't know for sure, mostly heard about it a long time ago from a geologist who was doing a presentation about some cave which started to act alike a nuclear reactor due to water getting on the radioactive material accelerating it's radioactivity. however there is one effect which I have heard/read more people talk about in the past where water supposedly can sometimes freflect radiation or such causing it to be send back at the radioactive material which can make it supercritical in some cases. perhaps it has to do with the temperature, or light. because actually radioactivity can be affected by some things in some cases, themperature and light both (including many types of radiation) can actually affect radioactivity according to quite many people online. also I just read in a government document about nuclear reactors not to long ago that water is used to moderate the reaction by slowing down the neutrons which should keep the reaction going, which would result in higher overall radioactivity since it keeps the reaction going instead of letting it rely on those random/rare states before sending out a radioactive reaction. so the reaction power isn't amplified but the amount of reactions and speed of them should be increased which should also increase overall radioactivity. since this is a article I found quite recently I still could find the link back since typically I don't remember or note where the sources where, but since this one was quite recent I still know it : www.energy.gov/ne/articles/nuclear-101-how-does-nuclear-reactor-work it is quite a not to techinical one however. but finding good sources for such things often is either more being lucky these days that you just come across one or hear things directly from a experiment in that field, since much info isn't that open anymore, or requires going through piles of papers to find a relevant one. but it might be a interesting experiment to see if it also works on low grade low quantity stuff.
@@ted_van_loon Yes, water does solw down neutrons or something like that. But that affects a nuclear chain reaction and not just some subcritical radioactive material.
Schön schön! Das gleiche Gestein gab es bei meinem letzten Urlaub auf Korsika auch. Nur da war die Strahlung durchgehend nicht unter 0,4yS/h also etwas mehr als hier. Komischerweise habe ich kein Stück Uran gefunden… nur dieses gestein. Kommt das Video auch noch auf dem deutschen Kanal oder nur hier?
@@thesciencefurry Well, Im in east germany but its a bit hard to find those regions, whats your usual process of finding the spots? (Sorry for asking so much im just curious)
There are plenty abondoned uranium heaps in czech republic too! I've seen people finding in them pitchlende with activity up to 200uSv.
Hope you do not glow at night now !

Who are you referring to by "utah youtuber?
I haven't heard of any youtubers from utah who handle U ore.
@@mihael64 Don't you know Cody, from Cody's Lab ? He's from Utah, in the US.
If it was joke, nevermind....
@@Ryan-lc4bl I didn't know he was from utah lol

Hey ^^ Wie genau ist denn dein kleines Messgerät und ist das eine Kaufempfehlung, oder weniger?

How does this work with the radioactivity increase? Radioactive decay is not influenced by anything. 🤔

Did your Uranium refining video got deleted? :(
Too risky to have it up :(
@@thesciencefurry Schade, aber macht schon Sinn :/
Yo heya! I know im a bit late, but how does one find abondoned uranium mines/spots here in germany?
@@DecayedPage There are some. I have a couple sites marked on google maps. But I have only visited a few.
@@thesciencefurry What kinda regions are those spots most common in?
@@DecayedPage South and east Germany
