Uranium Ore(medium radiation level)

$39.00

7,000 to 15,000 CPM
Like all radioactive samples sold by United Nuclear, the radiation levels measured are combined Beta and Gamma radiation. We never include Alpha radiation measurements as that produces a deceivingly high reading. A certificate of accurate radiation measurement is included with all samples.Medium Level Uranium Ore samples - ideal for collectors or as an inexpensive radiation source.Our Medium Level Ore samples may be composed of the following Uranium minerals: Torbernite (green crystals), Carnotite (yellow), Gummite (brown), or Uraninite (black). They are an excellent general purpose radiation source for a variety of experiments. They are also ideal for HazMat training or practice in locating radioactive materials with radiation detection equipment. Radioactive ore samples are far stronger, and considerably less expensive than pure radioactive isotope sources. They can be sealed in a zip-loc bag for most uses so any chips or small particles will not get lost with rough handling (the radiation they emit easily penetrates the zip-loc bag). Although they are safe to handle with your hands, it is prudent to wash your hands after handling the samples to prevent ingesting radioactive chips or fine particles that may fall of the rocks.All samples are guaranteed to measure between 7,000 CPM and 15,000 CPM.
S
amples typically measure anywhere from about 2" across to 3.5" across.
As with all our Uranium ore samples, a certificate stating your sample's precise radiation?measurement & associated information is included with your purchase.
