Shawn, James, List,
While it is radiologically safe to possess and
display trinitite after this interval, handling
it could conceivably be unwise, depending
on the nature of the sample, the degree of
vitrification and the physical integrity of the
sample. The danger is that of a small particle
Hi Sterling and List,
Yes, your home smoke detector contains material that is far more
radioactive than trinitite. Trinitite is an alpha emitter, but a very
weak one. Handling it is OK, within reason. Don't ingest it or allow
it to enter the mucus membranes or an open cut. I generally keep
Hi Paul and List,
Thanks for the trinitite links! A couple of those are new to me. Now
I have something to read today. :)
Best regards,

Dear Mike just when you think you have the book ready to publish and you know
all there is to know someone changes a chapter... So let me revisit what we
thought we knew about trinitie formation

I am ready to accept that this material is safe, it is just the idea that
some kind of nuclear waste be object of collection that puzzle me!

Army people say its radioactivity should have come now to acceptable

Hi Pierre,
Better men than I, as the saying goes, have told me 2 different
things regarding the radioactivity of Trinitite:
1) That its radioactive level is so low as to be completely irrelivant
that you could tape it to the inside of your jock strap and wear
it daily with ZERO impact
I don't own any Trinite, but if I did, I would probably store it in a lead
lined bag...such as those sold at photo stores to protect film from airport
x-ray machines.

Mark,
Please consult the encyclopeedia during a full moon. Then locate
an old infinity pin and conect it up to a medupeoloid radiator. Afterwards
get a cluck cluck sauce cookie from someones mama and take your
radioactive things in. Also I do not believe, or see how, tin foil would stop a gamma ray or alpha ray.. Mark - Original Messa!

Hi All,
In case anyone on the list is interested:
I just got a lot of the largest and best Trinitite I have
ever seen (bubbly glass from the first ABomb tested
on July 16, 1945, Trinity Test Site near Los Alamos
New Mexico). They are 10 to 20 grams each. It will
be 25% off to anyone on
