Quite literally, at the core of all this nuclear expansion is uranium, a radioactive element that is mined and then enriched into the U-235 isotope used by most of the 440 or so commercial nuclear ...

It comes to us from [Science Shack] and uses radioactive decay to generate truly ... [Science Shack] brought the power of uranium to the party. They obtained a sample of autunite, a weird-looking ...

The lipsticks contained both radium and thorium, hence the "glow" claim. Other ways to expose yourself ... But, back then in the mine visitor center you could buy radioactive uranium jewelry, ...
