[meteorite-list] TRINITITE

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

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 impac

I am amazed that some people dare collecting this material! Army people say its radioactivity "should" have come now to acceptable level, but first who is able to trust 100% such quote (from people who experimented injection of plutonium into humans without telling them) and second even if on ave

Re: [meteorite-list] TRINITITE

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. Dennis At 11:50 AM 05/28/2002 -0800, Michael Blood wrote: >Hi Pierre, > "Better men than I," as the saying goes, have told

[meteorite-list] TRINITITE URBAN MYTHS

Hi, List, Wow! What a lot of mythologizing. I hardly know where to begin. My experience of Trinitite dates from pieces I scrounged directly from the site in 1947-49, as a child. By the time I was nine, I had acquired a Geiger counter (as well as a box full of mine samples of various urani

Re: [meteorite-list] TRINITITE "Who is Dr. LaPaz"

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 (e

Re: [meteorite-list] TRINITITE "Who is Dr. LaPaz"

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 min
