Dang, you might want to find a nuclear waste site to dispose of
those! You've got me thinking about buying one of those gieger
counters. I'm in real estate and people always ask about
granite countertops since there was some buzz awhile ago about
those emitting radiation. Good to know yours don't!
no no the radiation is mostly alpha particles which don't
penetrate the skin. 6 inches away you can't even detect
them anymore, not dangerous. you don't want to put them under your
pillow our eat out of them, but stored in a box even a foot away is
not dangerous and they are stored far away from us. Those
plates are highly collectible, not dangerous and a part of our
crazy past.
To me what's fascinating is that 1000's and 1000's of those
plates were produces over many years and people obviously ate off
them for years back in the 30s, 40's, 50's, probably well paste
that as they were popular for their bright colors and many people
were probably not even aware and at off them for years .
many of your parents probably ate from one of these plates in
the past not even knowing it, they were that common
anyway crazy some of the stuff back then
