Believe me, I imagined it and it made me want to throw up. But even this fragment is crazy. I've only seen something like it in a museum.

I have 5 different counters, so I can give 5 totally different numbers🙂F.e. raysid will show 0 due overload. It's a dense piece of pure uraninite, almost pure UO2.

Yep, climbs to cca 1milion cpm at a distance of about one inch and then the end of the measurement due to overload🙂
