Product Description

Radioactive Ore Specimen.

The ore sample is Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials
(NORM). Uranium Ore samples are useful as check sources for testing Geiger Counters.

No analysis is performed on the ore sample. So the source of the ore's radioactivity may be any number of radioactive elements or decay products.

Counts Per Minute (CPM) activity rate listed on the label is the activity level that includes all radiation types: alpha, beta and gamma.

Since alpha radiation is the main form of radioactivity given off by the ore sample, if your Geiger counter can not detect alpha radiation it will show a much lower Counts Per Minute (CPM).

When checking with an alpha sensitive Geiger counter it is important to set the Geiger counter to its CPM mode and to locate the hot spot on the ore sample.

Each ore sample is checked and measured for its radioactivity using an NRC certified Digital Geiger counter that has passed ANSI-STD N323A calibration using a NIST traceable source from an independent government licensed lab conforming to NRC regulations 10-CFR-34, 10-CFR-35, making the Geiger counter suitable for regulatory inspections.
License exempt. Radioactive ore sample size and CPM activity will vary. Shipped in labeled metal container as shown.

Disposal:

US Federal Regulations do not require any special requirements to dispose of NORM material, however local city and state regulations may differ from Federal Regulations. One needs to check with local regulators on how to dispose of NORM material.

Shipping Information: We are always in compliance with Section 13 from part 40 of the NRC Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules and regulations and Postal Service regulations specified in 49 CFR 173.421 for activity limits of low level radioactive materials. The item is shipped in accordance with Postal Service activity limits specified in Publication 52.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sample!

My counter is WAY higher than their count. I'm getting 5000cpm through 2 layers of plastic. It's well over 100x the background count in my home.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best useless product I've ever purchased.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2013
So after a few weeks I finally had the balls to open the container and see what's inside. The item came in white cardboard container which displays the radioactivity symbol and the warnings about the product, and it's probably the best part because of its semi-menacing look. Inside that container was a smaller metal container which was very well protected in bubble wrap and foamy things. This metal container has no labels of any kind. Inside the metal container is the uranium inside a plastic bag surrounded by more foamy things. The uranium looks just like any other little rock, and when I say little, I mean little. It was disappointing it didn't glow like kryptonite, because I don't have a Geiger counter to check it and see if it's really radioactive, so this could be just a little rock and not uranium.

So, I paid $7 for the right to say I ordered uranium on the internet, I guess, not bad, better than $40.

One thing, on the white container the warning says that the "specimen emits alpha, beta and gamma rays", I'm not sure about the beta or gamma, but I definitely feel the alpha rays because immediately after opening the container I got this impulse to drink beer and watch sports.
