Cancer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: The Last Word Not if you use the proper instrument. There are some very nice spectrometers on solar telescopes that should be able to handle just about anything that doesn't destroy the facility.

Cancer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: The Last Word I haven't seen them, just seen comments that suggest they were taken. Nuclear test data tend to be classified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: The Last Word Nah, I'll just round up some o' those uranium-painted, glow-in-the-dark wristwatches. It can't take that many, right? . . . Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: The Last Word Those were mostly radium-painted. For uranium-painted, get some cheap Mexican orange-glazed pottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Re: The Last Word Polonium was in the tea. Americium is in the smoke detectors. Thorium is in lantern mantles. Just between you and me, that's probably your best bet. It's what the Radioactive Boy Scout started with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
