Im still not done but I wanted to get some feed back before going further.

I'm really glad you are doing all these precautions when handling such dangerous materials

Really like the video; I just hope some jerk doesn’t flag it for something like “showing how to make nuclear weapons”.

Awsome Cody!

I'm often concerned whenever you pour powders out on paper. It often feels like you have too small of a paper slip to contain the powder :P

That’s awesome Cody!

This is great! The new precautions are nice, also.

Is the radium recovery the same process as Marie Curie did?

Anonymous

Awesome stuff!!! Cannot wait to see the finished video! — quick question: how do you clean the stuff that came in contact with uranium? I.e. containers, the ball mill, etc.

Good job Cody! You nailed our suggestions from your previous upload. I don't know how you do it, but thanks!

Cody goes nuclear!

similar but not quite the same since she got the uranium ore after ith had been leached with sulfuric acid so she had an extra step to convert the sulfates to chloride.

you are not the first person to ask so I may add it into the video. I pretty much just use ammonia and paper towls, it leaves me with a bunch of contaminated paper that I eventually soak in a carbonate solution to recover the uranium. my liquid wastes are to be evaporated down and then once dry the salts are to be fused into glass.

Would love to hear your thoughts on using a lister for prime power...

Would be fun to make some luminescent paint with the radium. For what it's worth, locking bags don't seal radon that well. I recently picked up a Corentium Home by Airthings to measure the concentration in my apartment. With open windows, levels drop about 10 Bq/m^3. If I keep the detector on the same shelf in the same cabinet as my two small bagged chunks of ore, levels rise to about 400, on the bottom shelf about 100, and in a different cabinet, about 10. The levels in my apartment do rise to about 30 or 40 with the windows closed. I'll weigh the ore when I get home, but it's around 50 grams total. I was kind of surprised how much radon it gives off.

Cool. Alyways interested in the theory of extracting uranium from ore and the total yeild if you could eventually get it to 50%.

I don't understand, in what way, radio-active material is dangerous.. any chance you'll do an episode on the topic?

Anonymous

This might be a dumb question since the element is very, very restricted.. But is there any chance for you to cover plutonium at some point?

cool video cody, this one is really cool. is youtube gonna be okay with this topic? maybe you should put an short intro where you explain a bit about the reasons you are trying this and safety, etc. Also, many people, myself included have no frame of reference for how geiger counters work. maybe you could compare your readings to what you'd measure from a certain mass of pure uraniaum? or any reference point really! i think a lot of people, again myself included, aren't sure of how much radioactively you're dealing with.

Nice work so far; personally with a mineral with so much carbonate I would have gone for an alkaline extraction.

To put things in perspective, some usual units for measuring nuclear disintegrations are the becquerel (1 disintegration/second) and the curie (the number of disintegrations per second that occur in 1g of pure radium). 1 curie is 37 giga-becquerels. The approx 5000 counts per second would be produced by an amount of radium of the order of a couple hundred picograms.

“How I learned to stop worrying and love Cody’s Lab.” “How to get a Christmas card from the NRC.” “We’re all on a list now, boys!” Just a few suggestions. Also the teaser for whatever it was you cranked up at the end is killing me. Can’t wait to see that.

Cody is going to glow in the dark now. :-)

Respirator for God's sake. Inhaling alpha emitters is no joke. None of your engineering fixes are perfect. This is one not to fuck with.

Maybe place that glass full of liquid in a few inches of water in an inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner? It might provide the agitation to pull all of the heavy stuff to the bottom..? I know when I run my ultrasonic it seems to "collect" stuff

The thing he cranked up at the end is a power generator. He made a video about it in the past. 2-stroke Diesel engine IIRC.

In fact that would be a cool idea for a video. See if it's possible to photograph the Cherenkov radiation from whatever amount of metal is extracted in the end. <a href="http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/images/content/aurora/Cerenkov-radiation-reedZ.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/images/content/aurora/Cerenkov-radiation-reedZ.jpg</a>

What is the size of the air particles which contain the Uranium dust that are harmful? What size of respirator is needed?

Imagine the radioactive particles as tiny tiny cannonballs that shoot through you. If they hit something it imparts it’s energy into whatever it hit and if it’s a dna molecule it can break it apart eventually causing cell death with enough exposure etc. there’s a lot more to it than that but..

I am not sure if I see it correctly but for a centrifuge, you need to balance it. We should put approximately same weight in the opposite hole to archive counterbalance or the axial component would be damaged for most centrifuge models
