Could you inflate a balloon with an incredibly active alpha source? #HobbyNuke

idiot cat

RIP Ozzy Osbourne.

Picked up a nice vintage Metlox cup yesterday, and it came pre-seasoned. #hobbynuke

I have become infatuated with editing pictures of cats to be aliens. So here is my favorite chicken boy, @unicouniuni3.bsky.social

the alien

Wouldn't it be crazy if YouTube started to throttle video loading speeds for users with ad blockers?

Taking an "X-ray" with UV. The liquid inside the bottle is Mercury.

A cool uranium glazed tile table at the local antique store. #hobbynuke

Respect to the heroes who risked their lives to prevent further nuclear disaster.

A Krypton-85 source from an old AN/PDR-27R radiac. Kr-85 is very useful for gamma spectroscopy calibration as like Cs-137 it has a single, medium-energy photon at 514 keV. #hobbynuke

The БИРИ-2 (BIRI-2), one of the smallest dosimeters ever made. #hobbynuke

Good on you Governor Mills for standing up to that fascist.

The Eberline PIC-6A Portable Ion Chamber. With a range of 1 mR/h to 1000 R/h, it features a dry propane proportional tube as well as a logarithmic scale.

This meter was used to search for the debris of the Kosmos-954 satellite which spread radioactive particles over the Northern Canada.

Crazy to see a video of open core of this reactor, I've only ever seen pictures of the fuel being loaded.

Can't forget the speaker. The ASP's sound is probably the best part about it.

The Eberline ASP-1, my absolute favorite survey meter. #hobbynuke

Fargo is such a good movie.

#hobbynuke Some radium antique compasses today. All readings are in uSv/h (мкЗв/ч)

Everyone loves spicy cats. I'm liking #hobbynuke so far, i take so many pictures that need to go somewhere. New to bluesky as well so we are all learning haha.

@carlwillis.bsky.social The cat is NOT radioactive. #hobbynuke

Chicken boy!!!
