"Radiation Burns"

This was my second music track to be released in this particular series. I didn't plan for a full album, but I thought keeping to my favourite theme for every song will be perfect as a compendium. Please enjoy "Radiation Burns", which is what seems like a soothing piano melodic soundscape but quickly transforms into cascading relentless drum & bass.

I'm moving things around

Site might behave strangely

This is normal :)

Hot Rocks

A hobby of mine is to have lots of dangerous materials all in the same container together. Don't worry! It's perfectly safe. The bright blue light that flashes when I open the box is a beautiful sight!

Just being serious for a moment- I have a small collection of items I use to calibrate my Geiger counters. That includes stuff that really shouldn't be

radioactive, but is. Learn about it and the dangers of radiation through this section!

Geiger Counters

In-depth review of two counters I own and how to setup automatic data uploading. See your data live on the GMC World Radiation map!

 

You might also be wondering if you really need a Geiger counter. The true answer is... most people don't need one! They are just very cool to own, that's all!

Blind Quest II

If you want to subject yourself to some kind of messed-up psychological torture from the year 2009, this game is exactly what you need. Blind Quest II is the sequel to the completely unreleased Blind Quest I (and never will be released, it's too dangerous) and filled to the top with rudeness, weirdness and awful noises. SEE HOW LOUD IT CAN BE?!! THAT'S EAR-HURTINGLY LOUD!!!!!!! 

Really sums up what Blind Quest II is all about.

Nukestuff Visitors

I'd like to see where all my visitors come from. This map uses outwards-facing information that is stored by the internet browser you're using, which is also visible by every other website on the internet. If you're worried about this, just know that it's a lot like setting your Twitter or Facebook profile to public- you have to take active measures to define what privacy you'd like on your social accounts. For something as basic as a HTML guest map, you can simply use a VPN or a browser that has features that mask your outwards-facing information (that's your public IP, operating system and browser of choice, nothing like names or addresses or credit card information is stored there!) or a combination of both. I use Brave (a Chromium-based browser) and Private Internet Access, also known as PIA.

Audio Creations                

Have a listen to my music :) Some are novelty pieces made to test software I was using, and others are part of an album I'm yet to finish. 

Here lies a record of everything I've purchased, created and accumulated.

 

It's fine:

 

A burning question visitors might have when they see the contents of Nukestuff UK may be of the following; Why are you holding such dangerous items? Why would you keep these things? Isn't it illegal to have them? Do you ever get sick from them?  And to be fair, when I first started out, I had those exact same questions. I couldn't believe you could own the fuel of a nuclear reactor.

 

When I got my first piece of uranium mineral, I kept it hidden and made sure I didn't touch it directly during the few moments I took it out to look at it. I had no idea just how (relatively) low its radioactivity actually was, because I didn't even own a geiger counter back then as they were too expensive.

 

I also wanted to ask myself; why would I purchase something if I was so afraid of it? You can overcome fear by being close to what you're scared of. People scared of spiders buy tarantulas as pets. I still don't understand that one. A piece of uranium ore isn't going to escape from its container at night and be on your sleeping face by the morning. The chemicals you have in your kitchen cupboard are far more dangerous than a small piece of green rock.

 

In most countries, the laws governing transport and sale of radioactive items applies to a higher threshold of material, the likes of which you should never be able to purchase without drawing authoritive attention. And only if you are astronomically stupid, or have a death wish, your mineral is not going to give you radiation sickness; you literally have to eat it, and even then it may simply cause you to violently vomit. The sizes of minerals that get traded and sold are so small and insignificant in terms of potency, so despite what your screaming geiger counter is telling you, a source hitting double-digit microsieverts per hour are not going to do anything to you.

 

If you're truly interested in learning about radioactive minerals, I recommend starting by purchasing one of the interesting, less common minerals like Euxenite, Uranocircite or even a beautiful piece of uranium glass.
