@@Carl_Williswouldn't surprise me! I live in rural South Georgia. I have a bunch of friends that drink Ivermectin "pour on" cattle dewormer because they think it prevents covid. I have cows, and it was hard to find in stores for a while cause people were using it all up!!!
My impression: YT generally doesn't "like" people who are interested in nuclear engineering or radioactivity. I've also been confronted with the fact that they don't suggest such videos until I actively search for them (though the al*rithm should know which topics interest me).
It always astonishes me when people keep radium items indoors. I recently moved into a new place with 300-500 Bq/m³ radon that I'll need to get addressed soon.
I agree...& they'd have to be stupid. There's a big following for collecting Uranium glasses & some people have hundreds or thousands of pieces in their collections. Wonder how much RADON gas is emitted over time from the natural Uranium containing pieces? DU containing pieces should only contain minute trace quantities of Radium at worst, so shouldn't be a problem for a long long long time.
Very few people have a Geiger counter and are oblivious to the dangers of radiation. On my way to work on a major freeway I’ve discovered a particular place where my Geiger counter beeps for a short time and I’ve now noticed it consistently as 2-3 times normal background radiation. I plan to drive there just to find the source over the weekend. It’s just 40 minutes away but I’ve concluded it’s not random as it is the only place I see such jump.
@@ThinkingBetter I've encountered a couple places like that but was unable to locate the source. I suspect it was roadway material from a local quarry as there were uranium and thorium deposits in the area. A Geiger counter won't help with radon though unless it can detect alpha and the levels are very high, like on the order of 100,000 Bq/m³.
@@MarkRose1337 Yes actually I have an air quality monitor in my house from Airthings that monitor radon and other parameters of the air. Radon is always low but some times I have peaks of other things in the air due to cooking or even CO2 if I close the door to the bedroom in the night. That Airthings product is great for continuous monitoring and is Wifi connected.
@@MarkRose1337 Yes, perhaps it’s something in the road. But keep in mind I’m sitting in my car driving about 60 mph when my Geiger counter beeps and the peak is just a few seconds ALWAYS…I drive a lot of miles and never see such spikes anywhere else. Problem is that it is a busy freeway and I can’t just stop there.
Good to see you back at the videos Carl. Though for a second you left TH-cam. That's a heck of a source, rare one at that. Makes me jealous, yet I wont have a location to store one proper.
When I saw the purple glass damage, that´s the wow moment! I guess the entire box it´s quite contaminated right? I was hoping a for a check with the pancake on the video.
Not necessarily. All radium daughters are short-lived, so it all decays into stable Pb 206 in a very short time. If there is much contamination, it is from radium itself.
Very interesting antique! Carl, what is the "spiciest"/most radioactive thing you've been around outside of a lab setting? Is this more active per se than the stringer tubes at Chernobyl?
GREAT video as always, really liked it, and that source is indeed pretty spicy. Do you think someday you could make a really crude video showing some measurements of your sources? Like the am/be source, radium paint stuff and all that? It would be REALLY interesting to see!!
What a score! I have a very common Revigator. My Revigator doesn’t come close to the amount of gamma coming from that anti-static source in your walkie record-all or the radon infusing apparatus.
Lovely. The purple snagged my interest immediately. I could probably spend a few hours answering this myself, but do you happen to know how this compares to a typical radium clock (not watch) dial ie uC? I'm guessing ~100X. Cheers.
Wow, that's hot, still waiting for the video where you get around to building yourself a reactor, I'm hoping that what the empty space you have next to your other building is, though the NRC gets a bit upset about those things. Just wondering, is that one of the highest activity items you have? I bet you have some amazing items around your Lab. Keep up the good work!
Hi Carl, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos! They're always new and original, and I'm glad to see you posting again! I was wondering if you would consider either doing some videos, or a livetsream, running through some of the important mathematics relating to nuclear physics, as I know that is definitely an area I'm lacking in? A really great antique btw! What sort of dose rate would your readings roughly translate into? Am I right in thinking that uSv is roughly 10x the mR reading? 🤔 Hope to see more of your videos soon! 🤗☢
I tend to focus on pretty specific topics, and the math that is applied to nuclear physics spans such a wide variety of topics that it would be hard to focus appropriately. The conversion of an exposure measurement (in roentgens) to an ambient dose equivalent (in Sieverts) is in principle not a simple power of ten since these are different quantities with different dimensions (charge in air versus risk to human beings). But yes, you are looking at about a factor of 10 here to get uSv from mR.
@@Carl_Willis Thank you for your reply! Yes I can totally understand that - I suppose the main mathematical areas I was suggesting would be about conversion between units, decay equations, equations involving barn measurement, and the criticality of different materials, showing mathematically how neutron interactions with different moderators and fuels can create sustainable fission.
Pretty cool (well hot actually) artifact you got there hopefully whoever had it before you didn't keep it too close... I'm baffled by the fact that despite the enormous fear around nuclear stuff and radiation radioactive quackery managed to survive to this day but oh well at least I got a couple of nice samples for my collection (one of those pendants and a wand/pen). Perhaps we should start calling nuclear power plants "quantum scalar energy negative ions harvesting plant" to sell them to the public?
That wouldn't be the health concern of issue here. It would be cancer. Acute radiation sickness requires astronomical doses delivered quickly! Internal dosimetry of radon daughters isn't something I know a whole lot about, but a whole-body committed dose per volume water consumed could presumably be generated from the NRC's ALIs for the various radon daughters.
Good video, the radium is very radioactive even with 120 micrograms of radium 226!. I would have liked to know, since you are a nuclear engineer, how many sieverts are produced by 1 gram of radium 226?
damn thats nice, i managed to procure a later model of a german radiumemanator, felma brand 10 000m.e. Its this lovely 25cm tall 8cm diameter chrome finish hexagonal cylinder with a spigot, red nobs of plastic. Youre meant to leave water in it overnight, one of the few things i own that actually scare me slighlty.
Carl Willis..I am interested in the history of the Standard Chemical Co, the Vanadium building, and the Canonsburg radium plant in Pittsburgh, PA that at one time made half of the worlds radium. There is a large radioactive impoundment in Canonsburg said to contain 100 Curies (100 grams) of radium. I'm not sure if it works this way but could you tell me if that was a point source, the dose one would receive in R/hr?
There's a formula shown on screen in the video that contains the exposure rate constant for radium (in equilibrium with daughters). You would follow the same math, but put in 100 Ci as the activity and put in a distance of choice, and the equation will tell you your exposure rate at that distance. 100 Ci is an awful lot. Of course, in a tailings impoundment, it's pretty dilute and distributed and there is a lot of shielding around it from soil.
Out of curiosity, how contaminated is the outside of the box? e.g. how cautious should you be about any radium + daughter nucleotides on the outside of the box from getting inside your body?
There is some moderate (probably microcurie-range) contamination in the box. It's a bit hard to tell how much is from Ra daughters and how much from Ra itself; this will only be clearer after some time has passed.
@@Carl_WillisWorse is to start cracking it open carelessly indoor and not wash your hands then go to sleep thinking that this is just some harmless stuff. As a kid I used to disassemble old electronics in my room, which has some dangers, but luckily I never got my hands on one of these.
Significantly more, due to its decay progeny decaying primarily by alpha, and would also emit far more beta and gamma. Ra-226 is horrid stuff and makes Am-241 (especially the sources from smoke detectors) look like toys.
Nowadays people are worried about tritium contamination in water, meanwhile a century ago people were purposely contaminating their drinking water with radon 😂

I want to ask you something that isn´t specific to this video, but it is related to a lot of other videos. It is clear that you visit a lot of radioactive places, like the site of a nuclear bomb detonation, super radioactive places at chernobyl, like the red forest or the vehicle cementery and so on.

Not unusual for people in the early 1900's to carry around gram quantities of radium compounds in vials, hence the unit the Curie, which is the activity of a gram of radium-226. If Radioactive Scout's shed was deemed radioactive enough (just tens of smoke alarm americium sources with a combined activity not even approaching this amount of radium) for the NRC to condemn the structure, this would definitely attract serious government interest.
This is not likely to produce detectable neutrons. In principle it makes some neutrons, as any alpha emitter in contact with aluminum would, but that number is quite small. It would be indistinguishable from spontaneous fission neutrons from U-238.

Interesting. Thank you sir for more than the video.
Did the amount of exposure you got from just being near it make you sick afterwards?
Probably not
The effects would likely be more subtle than that...like increased cancer risk later on, as with most radiological hazards from contamination etc etc.
That is indeed hot! Radon daughters also include polonium.
I always wonder if radium in an airtight container of 120 microcurie emits more or less alpha rays against 120 microcurie of americium 241?
Significantly more, due to its decay progeny decaying primarily by alpha, and would also emit far more beta and gamma. Ra-226 is horrid stuff and makes Am-241 (especially the sources from smoke detectors) look like toys.

The NRC did not condemn David Hahn's property... Regulatory interest in radium antiquities is codified in 10 CFR 31.12 in the United States.
@@Carl_Willis thanks. I looked up and they just sent hazmat people to decontaminate the property. I’ll take a glimpse at the laws.
13:20 and Donald Trump thinks the same about drinking bleach!
Hi i wanna ask u something.
Could i make neutron gun by using uranium and aluminium foil?
This is not likely to produce detectable neutrons. In principle it makes some neutrons, as any alpha emitter in contact with aluminum would, but that number is quite small. It would be indistinguishable from spontaneous fission neutrons from U-238.
If you use enough uranium (and dome graphite) you dont need the aluminium
