    3:00 As someone who works with glass, the difference between Uranium glass and "window glass" is what's added to it for coloring. The base is generally the same, and then you add metal to change the color. I think Uranium glass has a minor green tinge to it, but glows vibrant green under UV light. If I remember correctly, window grade glass uses aluminum oxide or magnesium Oxide to make it clear and opaque. If you sub the Aluminum Oxide or Magnesium Oxide with another metal or metallic oxide, you can get some very pretty and vibrant colors.
    Uranium Glass is radioactive. HOWEVER, due to the small amount of Uranium per gram of glass used and the small mass, antique Uranium glass is fairly safe to handle. DO NOT use it for food and drink. If you're worried, most curio cabinets are thick enough to safely store and display Uranium glass.

    • @joeycampbell940

Not because they behave any differently, but because of the contrast and their inability to keep up.

      The difference between uranium and plutonium, despite them being lumped together in the mind of the public, is significantly greater than the difference between fissile uranium and things you can find around your house. You can get Uranium online pretty easily; you can get bombed, invaded, or overthrown by the CIA just for having the infrastructure to potentially make any amount of plutonium.

    I see a lot of people complaining about Nigel not being able to speak because he was being talked over, but honestly I felt that it made the podcast sound more natural. The NileRed episode is one of my personal favorites because it was basically just a bunch of normal dudes who have never been exposed to much chemistry listen to a guy talking at length about chemistry, and it made perfect sense and was really funny. The point wasn’t necessarily to hear “interesting stories about chemistry” for me, but to “hear interesting stories about NileRed that turn out to be hilariously absurd to the common person”.

  • @congruentcrib

    For my science-fair project I tested offense catalyst in solid rocket boosters. One of the materials we used was oxidized iron. In order to get the metal to oxidize quickly we needed to make a cemcal reaction take place. We found a thing but it said that is was highly dangerous, but the deadline was coming fast so we were just going to be as safe as we could be. After we set the chemical reaction, we did a little more research and it turns out that one of the byproducts was either HCN, or some diluted form of that. HCN is Hydrogen Cyanide. This was also the same chemical used in Zyclon B.
    We accidentally made a Nazi gas chamber. Luckily we are weird and had gas masks on hand, but I do remember explaining that one of the things we did was made a highly poisonous gas that “killed a lot of people in WWII”. I didn’t want to say to the judges that I made Zyclon B, but I just eluded ti it.
    I was later told that my experiment would’ve won top prizes in my school but it was deemed “too unsafe”. I think it’s bullshit that you discredit someone’s work for being too dangerous. Being said, ever since then I’ve said screw safety in science; if it’s dangerous then take proper precautions. Being told my science was too dangerous honestly destroyed me.

    The whole uranium thing isn't too surprising, given that some lacquers use uranium as a pigment iirc. Pretty much harmless because the type of radiation from the decay in those cases have very short range and is nowhere as active as people think.

    Gaffer glass supply makes and sells uranium glass colorant for glass blowers in the Seattle area. Other suppliers may have it as well. It's not very popular because it looks kind of like Vaseline. It's only interesting property is that it glows under blacklight. I've made plenty of things from it (I'm a glass blower), mostly glass pumpkins for halloween. Since the uranium (depleted) is already mixed with glass, and is pretty low concentration, it's quite safe.

Regardless of that they need to be professionally checked (which cost a lot of money) and if they want to get rid of it they would need order a special radioactive transporter which would bring it to a specific place (which is even more expensive). And all of that for a pice of Metal that is less radioactive than a banana XD
