Why Does It Glow, and is it safe? |
Depleted Uranium oxide is used as a colorant to produce a bright green to bright yellow glass. The amount is so tiny that it is exempt from the NRC CFR Part 40 rules.
Depleted Uranium Oxide is slightly radioactive and emits mainly low levels of alpha particles. Even the most energetic will only travel approximately 4 inches in air, and will not penetrate skin or even paper. The bottom line though , is that it SHOULD NOT BE INHALED OR TAKEN INTERNALLY.
