I love uranium glass so much
"Oh hey! Neat plates!"
See the group name
Me after dinner
Yeah the radiation is super lower. Aslong as you don't spend literally months holding it to your body it's fine. The danger is if they break getting dust in your body. Then you have a constant source trapped in your body which isn't ideal.
I've heard that you want to not use acidic food on some, since it will dissolve some of the plate into the food.
That's only really for glassware with a uranium glaze. The uranium inside the glass is stable and sealed away enough that mild food acids won't affect it. The biggest concerns are for chips or cracks in the glass, the uranium can still leech into food that way.
The real problem - don't look at the UV light shining on this! You are much more likely to get eye damage from the light than you are to experience any illness from the radiation.

As long as it isn't uranium glazed glass it is safe to eat from. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1322875/
From the paper: "The maximum quantity of uranium leached from the uranium-bearing glasses was about 30 micrograms L-1, while that from the ceramic-glazed items was about 300,000 micrograms L-1. "
Thanks for posting this!!
Also, the green glow isnβt from radioactive decay, itβs the uranium fluorescing under the UV light stationed just out of frame.
Yeah the light is probably more harmful than the glassware lol
Most of the produce you buy in grocery stores have been irradiated with UV to kill harmful bacteria, and it does not have any harmful effects. I suppose if they leave the UV light on and eat dinner under it for an extended period of time then they might get a sunburn.

"The cancer is coming from INSIDE the building"
Yeah its safe. Your aunties nasty ass jello salad with banana's in it is giving you far more radiation exposure than those plates, because you put it inside you.
Is there something specific about bananas or is it just the go to stand in for saying that even fruit entire radiation?
The potassium taken up by banana plants during growth has radioactive isotopes which are concentrated in the fruiting bodies.
Bananas genuinely are more radioactive than most other foods due to their high potassium content and the relatively high frequency of radioactive isotopes of potassium.
It's well-enough documented that there's an informal unit of measurement for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose

Babe, put out the fine Xbox tableware
Personally, I think I would save these for Halloween or a kidβs birthday party. Theyβre cool and I kinda want some but I also feel like theyβre not conducive to keeping the food down.
