  • @quantumbits uranium is reactive...... That's what the glass is made out of... That's why it's reactive

  • nice counter - it has the "CD" sign, really cool :-)

  • @quantumbits Uranium has been used for an incredibly long time to dye glass.

  • Ok I don't get it. Why is the glass radio active. Was it made with uranium in the 1940'? Why?

  • I'd imagine it is just Alpha decay which is pretty much harmless. You can block alpha particles with a piece of paper and they won't penetrate your skin.

  • After seeing this video I'll have to check my mother's depression glass.

  • Looks older than 1940's, is that lid zinc?
