    Have you tried it on Brazil nuts?

    No, but I have tried it on a Gas Lamp Mantle, and that drives it crazy, ticking away like mad, at over 3 USV/h.

    The Vaseline Glass bowl only reads about 1.7 USV/h.

    Uranium Oxide actually, but yes.

    I bought it to test my Geiger counter.


    Theres a fantastic review of a tin of uranium ore on amazon.
    It says something like "1 star, very annoyed, bought this 4 billion years ago opened it today and half of its gone"

    To put those figures into context, a single organ CT scan subjects the body to about 7000 USV/h.
