Uranium is in bull market as much as PM and other commodities. If you're so incline you can purchase and stack Uranium ore right here: http://www.amazon.com/Images-SI-Inc...6XXM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1294749604&sr=8-2 If you fancy glowing in the dark, it'll make a great Halloween party trick. Good luck!
I have some art deco uranium glass which has a nice heft and an eery green glow. I've never tested it with a geiger counter but am assured these do emit a small amt of radiation. Its a razor blade hone in case anyone was wondering. I've been preparing for shtf for a long time
Emission from Uranium isn't that high, and is alpha particles from memory. 4.5 billion year half life - it's not going to be doing much today. Basically it safe as long as you don't make your underwear out of it.
Are you sure? You can be the Radioactive man and I'm sure your kids will love it, their friends at school will be jealous.
It costs $40 + P&H, its not that expensive, but buying it would be very dangerous, not because of possibilities of irradiating oneself, but gov authorities would question that. Alpha particles are stopped in 2-3 cm of air so no immidiate danger unless you put it close to your body as Forge mentioned.
