Radioactive Red✓

Many people who follow my page don’t realize that I also spent time staking uranium mining claims. It’s something I’m genuinely proud of, I consider myself a uranium prospector in addition to being an amateur nuclear physicist. I began selling uranium ore as a way to fund my growing collection of radioactive antiques and to support my ongoing outreach and education efforts online. There’s a deep well of radiological history and lore behind what I share here. Thank you for being so kind and supportive of meeeee, it truly means a lot. ☢️💕

@radioactivered I am following you because that is one of the most unique hobbies I've ever encountered. I have more rad training than I ever thought possible, and that I hope to never use in the field.

RT @PunchingCat:

My favorite house in the entire world is in Falls City, Texas. It literally has a uranium/radium tailings disposal site from the uranium rush and Cold War era right next door, theres also two filled in uranium mines in the backyard. The disposal site reportedly contains 7.1 million dry tons of contaminated material and 1,277 curies of radium-226. I’d imagine the radon levels around this place are probably pretty wild. Even though the uranium/radium tailings are contained in an engineered disposal cell, radon can and will still escape. I regularly check Google Maps to see if they’re ever going to sell this place (I want it so bad) and it looks like the people there might be finally moving out! I wonder why, lmao. ☢️

Hi! If you buy any type of Geiger counter, scintillator, dosimeter (or really any other type of radiation detector) and want to learn how to use it or understand your readings, I’ll try my best to help you for free. I think owning a meter is important and not as a fear mongering thing, but because curiosity can spark a lifelong interest in nuclear physics. ☢️

Hi. ☢️ This is Savannah and we have been my best friends since we were teenagers. She is an incredibly talented, award winning photographer based in Yellowstone. Her work has actually been featured in numerous televised documentaries and films. (Also, I have bullied her into participating more on X because I want my friends to be hers too.)

I just realized I put have been my best friends LMFAOOOO sorry I was tired

I wish I could pin comments again on posts so people realize I’m not stupid, rip.

I’ve had a lot of people comment saying they’ve had radioactive items confiscated in the mail. Chances are, it wasn’t packaged or labeled properly and perhaps their country just has different regulations. In the U.S. though, you can legally ship and receive certain radioactive items through the mail. There are rules, but it’s not automatically illegal just because something is radioactive. The rules are covered under USPS Publication 52, Section 347 (“Radioactive Materials”), along with Packaging Instruction 7A and the applicable federal regulations under 49 CFR. Generally, the item needs to be secured in an inner box with cushioning and then placed inside a sturdy outer box. It also needs to be properly labeled on the outside so that your mailman (or mail lady) knows to handle it with extra care, like the label on the box I’m showing in my picture. Another important rule is that (for qualifying USPS shipments) the radiation level on the outside of the package cannot exceed 0.5 millirem per hour (mrem/h). You absolutely need to check measurements from the outside of the box before heading to your local post office. Certain antiques and collectibles can qualify for exemptions, so understand that not EVERYTHING that’s radioactive has to go through this process or needs to be double boxed with outer labeling. My point is that radioactive items aren’t automatically prohibited from being mailed, so don’t let people convince you otherwise. There are regulations you have to follow, sure (and you should) but it’s perfectly legal. ☢️

RT @culKitten: 小猫咪，你走路怎么会是这个样子啊！

Since regular GM Geiger counter tubes aren’t designed to detect neutrons directly, specialized neutron meters like these are used instead. Neutrons have no electrical charge, so they can’t directly ionize the gas inside a standard GM tube in your Geiger counter. So a neutron detector has to use a different method to get a reading. Some neutron detectors use gases like boron trifluoride (BF₃) or helium-3 (³He), which interact with neutrons and produce charged particles, while others use scintillators containing materials like lithium-6 and boron-10. In scintillation detectors, these interactions produce charged particles that cause flashes of light. Hydrogen rich materials like plastic can also be used to detect neutrons by measuring the recoil protons produced when neutrons collide with hydrogen nuclei. Anyways, the detector ends up converting these neutron interactions into signals so that it can read them. In gas filled detectors, the charged particles ionize the gas and create electrical pulses. In scintillation detectors, the flashes of light are converted into electrical signals. In plastic based detectors, recoil protons produced by neutron collisions can create signals that are measured. So even though there are different types of neutron detectors that all work in different ways, they still serve the same purpose of detecting and measuring neutron radiation. ☢️

LMAOOO ain’t no way my life is literally a video game simulation to somebody? 😭☢️ “Armed with a radiation detector, you’ll follow its crackling signals to locate 180 radioactive objects scattered across 18 regions. The environments range from misty pine groves and wide salt flats to the unsettling Silent Reactor, with every discovery added to a growing collection of curiosities left behind by the old world.”
