Well, I have 3 Geiger counters, but not radioactive meteorites...;-
I´m also a collector of minerals, and there are many, many minerals,
radioactive in the nature. Some slightly, like Columbite, some not so
slightly, like Uranite, these I keep in my garage, but my Brahins are
all in the house ;-

Hi All,
I just want you all to know that it is nothing dangerous (radioactive)
in all Brahin samples. Brahin meteorite fell long ago and all samples
that were (and will be) found are from quite deep level under the
surface (0.5-1.5 meters) where no radiation is. Some radiation is only
on the surface in that area. My friends and I were several times
there. But we are not enemies for our selves. The radiation is quite
low in the area where the ellipse of Brahin is located. Temporary
visiting that place is absolutely safety for health. Even several
tenths of years you can live there. Just they made a border between
living and not living areas on the level of 30 microrentgen/h. (The
Brahin town is in the level of 36 microrentgen/h and people live
there. They let cows eat the grass there and eat the meat and drink
milk after without any doubt. Note, that a lot of Earth stones that
were used to built big houses have more radiation level than all
meteorites (including Brahin). We pass all the times the security in
many airports of the world with Brahin. It impossible to carry
radioactive goods on the plane! If you still not believe, get a Geiger
counter, measure something at home and after bring it to one of the
shows (or measure you own Brahin sample if you have already one).
All the best.
Serge
