About Nukestuff

This site domain was first registered in September 2014 and hosted by Weebly. After a steep price hike by Weebly and poor support for bugs, that version of Nukestuff.UK was shut down. It took another 8 years to get motivated to rehost the site with a new company.

The general theme of Nukestuff has evolved over the years. It used to be solely for personal projects such as game development and digital art. It's now being overhauled with a new interest in nuclear science, minerals and everything in between.

You can still find our defunct software and abandonware archive, old Nukebrain personal blog and game development project pages.

Why did you get into collecting radioactive items?

I'm expecting this to be asked at some point, so here's an answer.

I've been studying nuclear geology and nuclear history since 2010, when I first read up about Chernobyl. It had a profound effect on my fear of nuclear radiation, essentially setting my fears aside and I have a lot more respect for it. My research has now branched out to Radiation Science and radioactive minerology. I bought my first piece of uranium mineral on ebay back in 2016. Back then, I did not even own a geiger counter so I kept my piece of uranium mineral stored away, in case it was "super hot". It turns out it was fairly low grade and has hardly any reactivity at all! I purchased my first counter in 2021, a GQ GMC 500+, but quickly realized this was not the correct instrument for measuring uranium. Uranium is an alpha emitter, after all! Five months later I bought the GMC 600+, and am now planning to purchase other models of counters to review them.

A lot of fear of nuclear science is fuelled by misinformation, ignorance and negligible education on the subject, and is not helped by historic accidents such as Chernobyl, but it's important to rationalize science and understand that radiation is not unpredictable. It behaves exactly as expected, and as such it should be treated with the same caution you would apply to holding a very sharp meat knife.
