Thorianite

[polonium9]

I ORDERED MINE AND I CANNOT WAIT and i will make a video of it wen i get it YAY RUSSIA

[taliban0king]

NV i just got it...it seems to be sensitive.......

[taliban0king]

i just bought the exact same geiger meter from e bay is it sensetive??

[AScannerClearly]

I know with my current geiger counter, I can detect Am-241 only with the gamma shield open (only detects Beta & Gamma). So either its gamma rays are too weak to penetrate the shield, or its also emitting beta particles (probably from Protactinium-233, which forms from Np-237 which is from Am-241). But either way, beta + gamma is too low to be hazardous.

Salut, Ou as-tu pris ton petis Morceau de plastic qui émet du rayon X ??

Ou tu a pris ton petit appareille électronique ?? Merci et Bonne Journée !

CLEAN NUCLEAR

ADS power generation using thorium is safer than normal fission reactors because they are subcritical and stop when the input current is switched off.

Thorium fuel may be mixed with long-lived wastes from conventional reactors to incinerate them.

i dont get y they didnt just use thorium in the first place

[DigitalBlue91]

Where do you get a piece of Thorianite like that? The most I've got my DRSB-88 to click is 25cpm with a smoke detector.

[evansp12]

I've got it from eBay site, SoCal Nevada.

[nitrex]

Yeah i know that, they sell it World wide and also Its comes from Morocco, Nice collection but the big ones are expensive.

[DigitalBlue91]

I had trouble getting my DRSB-88 to click also, until I took the source out of the smoke detector. Don't worry, it's safe. When placed right on the source I got about 70-80cpm.

[nitrex]

Ofcourse the americium from the smoke detector is safe, its only an alpha emitter. Their is no way you can ingest it because its too small to see.

[chester73]

you are correct in saying it is safe but just so you know, there is no way it only emits alpha radiation. That may be its main decay but gamma is almost always emitted as well.

[xXxmidgexXx]

Is that harmful?

[evansp12]

Yes, I believe it is.

[xXxmidgexXx]

but why does it emit radiation?

[annyonghaseyo90]

its not harmful.its present in rocks all around us

[nitrex]

Actually thorium radioactivity isent harmfull . But the ingestion of thorium is.

[nitrex]

actualy if you abuse it then yes, Its only harmfull if its swallowed. The radiation from Thorianite is mostly Alpha.

[polonium9]

well thats good to no incase i will get some
