"If it's radioactive, store it in lead"
*holds uranium with his bare hands*
yeah like boutta say bro just picked that stuff up bare
@qwerto granted, it's not like he was holding the demon core or anything. So, it's not gunna kill him. But... does he want cancer? Because that's how you get cancer.
It’s fine with your bear hands, just wash your hands. As for the reason to store.p it in lead, it can cause cancer if you have it close to you constantly and it can damage wood or paper
Has to do with with long-term storage. As long as you wash your hands you are fine. Don’t sleep with it next to you, etc.
Unprocessed uranium is pretty much harmless unless you expose yourself to it over a very long period of time or ingest it.
Says it's highly radioactive and needs a container, proceeds to hold it bare hands for camera xD
you arent screwed if you arent there for long term (and also if it is in small quantity)its also used in large amounts in reactors workers even walk around it but if u inhale or eat it u think u will dye but no because body doesnt absorb radioactive element it most of it will just be thrown out by excretory system butt still dangerous (dont try to smell or taste it) and its not too likely to see while walking on mountain its just little less rare than gold and if u wanna know if its uranium or other radioactive element you can use geiger counter or uv rays ( shining uv rays at it or some other radioactive element will cause it to glow light green or bluish color) to see that if its is uranium or not and their are many natural elements which are more radioactive than uranium such as radium (pure) and also not all yellow coloured objects are uranium its even used in nuclear medicines. i love this topic
Uranium is not highly radioactive. Cobalt 60 or Iridium 192 and many more are. You also have a much much higher chance of stumbling upon a highly radioactive material that was lost or stolen, but Uranium is very safe. The only concern is Radon gas that is produced by Uranium, and its chemical toxicity simillar to lead.
@tungstenmark the point is, he did say that it has to be stored in lead. If it was safe, he shouldn't have said it wasn't.
"I don't know, but I've been told, uranium ore costs more than gold..."
its true because its so small amount of uranium in the world

You can really scare the average person with any mild source of radiation. Set your device to Alpha or Beta, and set it to the highest multiplication.
Bro after an hour.... Erm why am i testing metal in my mouth??? 💀
So if I'm walking through mountains and I see yellow, I'm screwed. Got it.
Yeah, don't eat yellow snow. Knew that since I was a kid.

No it’s not that bad, I wouldn’t recommend sleeping on it but walking by and standing around it you’ll be fine, Uranium is very low emitter of Gamma rays, and a high emitter of Alpha the upside is As long as you don’t eat it it’s not particularly dangerous. That said radium also occurs in the ore in very low quality
Sulphur is yelly.
@@WolfShadowhill *quantity
When your camera starts to flare up with static/pixilation, thats an indication what you are filming is emiting dangerous radiation
"Store in it safe lead container" then he proceeds to hold it with his bare hands
U sound like a radioactive scientist that turned into Kermit for the rest of his life
I took another suspect meteorite to the local university lab.....Not enough nickel (AGAIN)!!!
So glad I tossed my Carnotite sample from my gem curio. It was dinosaur bone covered in Carnotite from western Colorado (Morrison Formation). I know it’s pretty harmless except through touch, respiration and constant exposure but I have curious kids now.
Bummer you had to get rid of such a unique piece, but kudos for being a responsible parent.
Pretty brainless of you to get rid of such relic.
The interesting part is when people think of uranium, they think of glowing green goop where it is actually more of a white colour especially other materials like radium
Uranium isn’t that radioactive there’s plenty of elements waaaaaaaay more radioactive than it
yes radium even 1 million times more radioactive
@@nextmaldini Actually natural uranium 238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Uranium 235 (fissile less common in nature) has a 700 million year half-life. The longer the half-life the less radioactive. Now, would it eat it? Would I sleep with it? No to both. Would I at least shield myself with glass? Yes.
Uranium ore is really not as radioactive as people imagine it is. You probably wouldn't want to be surrounded by the stuff 24/7 or ingest it, but if you frequently travel by plane than you're exposed to more radiation.
Sounds like Kermit the frog 😂
IN BC in the late 70s before uranium exploration was shut down, exploration geologists were sampling for basal type deposits of uranium in unconsolidated sediments underlying flood basalts in Central BC. What form would that uranium be in?
Carnotite or Autunite?
I disagree that's a requirement. American Museum of Natural Histroy. Has beautiful samples of this and others on display. Natural uranium really isn't dangerous to be around. Even being around fresh nuclear fuel isn't dangerous to be around and handle.
You might ruin your detector pegging out the meter like that.
Do not worry, the mode was on 0.1x instead of the usual 1.0x
One tends to only damage old style physical analog meters that way, hence the name pegging for it hitting the limiting pegs and potentially bending the needle or even burning out the driving coil.
Boy, am I giving away my age with that knowledge!
If it's highly radioactive ☢️ why would someone hold it with no gloves
Because it's not that dangerous unless you inhale it.
It's fine to hold it temporarily and wash your hands afterwards.
That sample of Carnotite is absolutely beautiful, I'd love to have a piece like that! But in all honestly that isn't very hot at all.
"Highly radioactive"
I've seen much more radioactive items in antique shops.

@@derpymcderpello5381 that's crazy
@@derpymcderpello5381would the radiation bleed onto the other antique items and make the entire store radioactive?
It's a lot less dangerous than you think. In fact, so long as you're careful to prevent inhaling any dust, uranium ore is more dangerous as a chemically toxic heavy metal(hope you washed your hand after recording this video!).
Still, when in doubt erring on the side of excess safety is always good praxis.
The reality is, a good hand washing, don't break the sample and definitely don't grind the damned thing. Otherwise, it's pretty much just a rock when it's laying around.
And well, let's face it, washing one's hands often is always good advice.
I had a uranium ore sample in a mineral set as a kid, that, after being born a week after Tsar Bomba, which basically was the idiotic atmospheric testing era.
I still only have two heads - that, due to being male. Then again, maybe the radiation helped, as I learned far earlier on to not let the small one think for me. ;)
That is the main reason depleted uranium as a horrible weapon to use in city warfare or county farmland.
We use it anyway because there isn't really anything more durable for weapons.
Then why tf are you holding it with your bare hands? Next video we’re gonna see that same hand with growths on it.
I am cooked I ate 2,000,000,000,000 mg of uranium
If this needs to be stored in a lead container for safety, how is it safe to be held by hand with no protection?
Duration of exposure i guess
The emission of particles which actually cause damage is not instant it takes time so you can touch it but just don't keep it in your hand for too long
I found a dark grey rock with these gold streaks on it just like on the video and it's got like small 1/4 by 1/4 crystal like gems. It looks pretty cool and unlike any rock I've ever seen
Wow, I did not know that high-quality is
As far as I know, Afghanistan graveyard on uranium !! It is very important to know 😌 thanks to your beautiful presentation!!🙏💯🌟
Iran has some phenomenally rich deposits, one of which makes one city literally the most radioactive inhabited place on earth, all due to the uranium underground.
Earth is by nature a radioactive planet to a degree. The argon in our atmosphere comes from decaying radioactive potassium, carbon-14 comes from activated nitrogen (activated by cosmic rays), radon from decaying radium, etc.
I'd be unsurprised to see uncontrolled fission reactions in the core during the formation of the planet. After all, we did have a natural uranium reactor a billion years back, moderated by rainwater it'd fission until the aquifer ran out. Discovered during French uranium mining and the U-235/U-238 mixture was way off from the normal ratio.

We be getting out of the fallout with this one🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Huh it looks like moldy rocks...
So basically video gsme characters are actually climbing rocks made with uranium (yellow pigment)
Highly radioactive is determined by two factors: it's half life and its ability to emit either neutrons and gamma rays at the same time
I have an old chemistry or science kit from the 50s or 60s. It has a small amount of uranium ore and a spinthriscope in the kit.
Spinthriscopes are awesome. It does suck having to wait for your eyes to adjust to darkness.
Dont leave it Laying Around the House !
WHY TF DID YOU HOLD THE MOST DANGEROUS STONE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS BROOOOOO
Uranium is relatively safe to handle just don't eat it.
It isn't "highly radioactive". And without knowing the sensitivity setting of the detector trying to take an activity reading is meaningless.
it is highly radioactive stop being stupid
Oh gosh,. Finally someone is talking about it
What a dude. Litteally handles the stuff that levels cities in his bare hands
It's not highly radioactive, it's literally the least radioactive element of radioactive elements
Quite useful
When I was a kid in the 1960's I bought some Uranium nitrate by mail order. It's not very radioactive, the half life is 4.5 billion years.
Knock knock Its godzilla and I hear you have Radiation over there so ima bout to pay you a visit
Should be 100% of energy production. If you care about environmental impact and habitat deatruction and dont want nuclear energy, you are not a serious person.
If we got 100% of our total energy needs from nuclear power, i.e. One Hundred times the number of reactors, we have currently, we will soon run out of fuel. This from a Nuclear Industry company blurb...
"The demand for uranium continues to increase, but the supply is not keeping up. Current uranium reserves are expected to be depleted by the end of the century, and new sources of uranium are hard to find. As a result, uranium prices have been steadily rising, with some estimates predicting a doubling of prices by 2030. This is causing a global uranium squeeze, where the demand for the resource is outstripping the supply."
.
It's already the most expensive fuel by an Irish mile, ten to fifty times the cost of solar. It is also not a suitable stand-alone source, as you cannot power it up and down easily, certainly not to keep track of the daily demand changes. This also makes it a poor partner for renewables. Oh! I almost forgot. What is your solution to that pesky waste problem?
@@michaeljames5936 uranium reactors are only selected because in the cold war we needed that plutonium byproduct. The answer to your snarky, outdated, gullible question is THORIUM. far more plentiful, far cheaper, much easier to extract, much less toxic.
@@danielescobar7618 It's also not a 'thing'. There have been no commercial scale Thorium reactors ever built, so this is all theoretical at present. I personally believe Thorium might be a great fuel, to produce very, very, very expensive electricity, but it's twenty, to forty years away from contributing significantly to our energy needs and we may as well wait for fusion. Global Warming is here now. I'll leave you with a quote "Without exception, [thorium reactors] have never been commercially viable, nor do any of the intended new designs even remotely seem to be viable. Like all nuclear power production they rely on extensive taxpayer subsidies; the only difference is that with thorium and other breeder reactors these are of an order of magnitude greater, which is why no government has ever continued their funding.' Peter Karakomos.
@@michaeljames5936 nope, nuclear power is scalable within reason, so larger reactors for large population centers, smaller ones for small population centers. I've even looked at commercial designs made for direct burial for cooling that'd supply small to moderate sized towns (once the fuel is exhausted, it's to be excavated and recycled, with the solid lead core processed and the fuel reprocessed (not that ever happens even now)).
But, 100%, just frigging no. A sizable part of the world could use solar thermal, more using solar electrical, more using wind and water movement, a small part using fossil fuel for actually valid environmental reasons (due to environmental conditions).
Currently, nuclear is more expensive than even using natural gas for electricity production. Plants are expensive to operate, maintain and process fuel for and we've not reprocessed fuel for decades. But, a mixture of plants can supply most nations on the planet with plentiful energy, much derived from sunlight (hell, wind is largely sunlight driven anyway). I did an analysis that'd work in Florida and Qatar (when I did the analysis I was stationed in Qatar) for using an anhydrous ammonia based system that'd collect direct sunlight to heat the working fluids, the only "pollution" was water from the atmosphere. All from basic collectors, add mirrors, reduce site size, but one would need to change the working fluids to higher temperature fluids and not a one exotic or extraordinarily hazardous.
It should be used for electricity generation wherever non-intermittent renewables are not available.
That’s one angry beep box
I love this channel. A youtuber who discusses their passion, in which they are learned. Everyone can sound like they know what they're talking about (that is almost all of youtube), but this one knows at least more than I do about his subject and from this I glean the unknown. No one can say "youtube is all bad" while you are here doing this. Do you think minerals are alive? Like.... dynamic physical systems are special. The cell is that and it can self-reproduce which is cool but the planet is also one. all stuff feels time because time. time gives things a dimension for change....or something?
so uranium ore can be black and yellow , kinda like caution tape , . . also it's not anywhere near as dangerous as other radioactive metals . . with the main hazard being a long term exposure to it
To be honest I have some issues with information in this video. Firstly uranium isn't highly radioactive. Like, it's radioactive, but we cannot really say that element itself is radioactive, it's crude oversimplification. Element doesn't have stable isotopes, and of those unstable most aren't really that radioactive, like most of uranium 238 sometimes isn't even considered radioactive, because of its long half-life. Secondly storing it in lead containers... I would said it isn't always a necessity. Hand sized samples of uranium ore are of course radioactive, but most of this radiation is alfa or beta particles, which can be easily blocked just by plastic or air. That leaves some "hard" beta particles and gamma rays, which will be dispersed into bigger area when you just move away. Usually distance of 30-50 cm is enough to lower radiation intensity to background levels. Only with bigger samples or bigger collections some shielding would be required, where not all shielding need to be made from lead.
"Uranium is highly radioactive"
Uranium isn't significantly radioactive compared to a lot of other radioactive elements. It's just you don't want to be by it for a long period of time, but you're not screwed if you hold it in your hand or just get close to it like many other radioactive elements
Then y are u holding it 😂
Look at that rock.....but don't lick it......

Uranium and many other radioactive elements also occur in something called pitchblende and was how many radioactive elements beyond uranium were discovered
Well, pitchblende is a mineral. It is indeed one uranium ore.
Mine is red and gray.. hmm
My spectrometer shows that the gammas are dominated by radium 226
Looks delicious
What if i keep in my pocket for my whole life(until I die)?
Oh my fucking glob... I licked the walls of an old mine that has small deposits of uranium. I didn't know this olace was radioactive because the workers usually die in five years of mining coal. That also explains why I am now partially blind in my right eye and that I am experiencing extreme pain in my jawline area
How do you survive mining that ore?

Is that sample from the Anderson mine in central Arizona? The host rock appears similar to the silicified lake sediments from that area
Carnotite is most commonly found on petrified wood and dinosaur bone in the Uravan Belt of western CO and eastern UT. It’s possible that sample he is holding is from AZ.
@@RangerMcFriendly true, but the Uravan belt deposits are typically roll front or tabular and have a sandstone matrix associated with organic debris (hence the bones and petrified wood). This sample appears more fine grained and laminated than usual uravan samples and a bit more like those from the Anderson/Date Creek area. Just a guess though, hard to tell from quick clips of the sample.
Guys, it's not so radioactive it's damaging instantly, you can even tell bc the camera is working. There's much more radioactive elements out there, BUT, keeping this object out for a long period of time and not in the proper container after some YEARS you could experience heavy radiation poisoning.
so urine is named after uranium because its yellow? or uranium named after urine
The ladder. It's piss ore.
Tastes crunchy. Mmm
Why is he holding it in his hands 😮
This sample would look interesting in a cloud chamber👍
Interesting? Naw, it'd look totally cool - especially with a magnet to deflect positive alpha and negative beta, leaving neutrons to blaze forward. Remember, with an ore sample, daughter products are present and with a decent sample, one can get examples of all 3 types of particles and gamma.
Ah yes “highly radioactive”.💀

Uranium is not highly radioactive because is has a very long half life. Uranium minerals are a little more radioactive because of the daughter elements. Something with a short half life like Radium or Cobalt 60 would be considered very radioactive.

Take care Geology Hub. Uranium is among the highest-number elements that can be produced naturally.
Not really, it's just the longest lived naturally produced primordial elements.
Or should I mention Przybylski's star, with plutonium in it's atmosphere? Just to name one element that's odd that all know.
Given its peculiar velocity, I suspect it was part of a trinary system that had two neutron stars fall in love and join. ;)
