My grandma lived to the ripe old age of 92, mixing eggs, cakes, and everything she cooked in an orange fiestaware bowl that now sits in my office behind lead shields.  Seriously though, the one good thing about it is that fact that it's immobilized, and thus you aren't spreading it around and don't need to worry about contamination that way (for the most part).  If done right I think it's a great way to display the concept of radiation.  I assume it's a one class period thing, so exposure time is short, so I really don't anticipate any problems.

Now how many have tied coleman mantles with your teeth back when you were younger and not as wise?

Good luck

Dave

Hello, Everybody,

 

Are “radiation experiments” with Fiestaware considered “safe”?  [Instructor would take readings.]

 

Thank you!
