The uranium play button will be such a cool project

Here before the nuclear safety guy does a reaction to the vid

reminder that uranium-238, the most common form of uranium by far, has an extremely low passive radiation level. if you ingest it, you'll be at least a factor of ten more likely to die of heavy metal poisoning than of radiation poisoning. (lead isn't the only poisonous heavy metal, it's just the most common to be exposed to. uranium has similar effects.)

honestly the scariest part about this was that you used HF ☠

[tql]

Ah yes, the good old Cody's lab method. I still remember that legendary video.

Nuclear chem is the whole reason Im back at Uni at 45. Great Video DO MORE!!

I can finally add another video to my ''Blacklisted due to youtube' class action lawsuit

The Tetrafluoride is such a beautiful color. My sample of it looks so good sitting next to all the rest of the compounds in my collection. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Uranium chemistry is so fancy! Great video bro

[mrgreenguy]

I wish I could do this! But I don't think Australia would like that very much lol

[Levent_Ergun]

I am not sure if I should watch the video or start downloading it immediately

For the moment I thought you are colliding two neutron stars or at least supernovae. But it makes more sens you just reducing a metal salt to metal. This is also interesting though. :D

Love seeing this, I work with depleted uranium every day in my lab researching future nuclear fuels, so it’s super cool seeing the process to make the depleted uranium.

[nayeem]

We need more inorganic chemistry videos 👏

[Thunderft]

molten lithium in glass is a hard NO! Liquid lithium is ferocious at destroying glass. It also mostly reacts with the glass to give lithium oxides and silicon.

You make this nuclear chemist proud, love to see the uranium dissolve in organic solvents. solvent extraction is amazing.

[joshp]

Wow, nice result! I didn’t expect a very metallic looking product after you described your “heat it in the ampoule” method, but not bad

[mikeydudek]

Saying depleted uranium isn’t so expensive is a bit misleading, depending on the application. Like with the above stated bullets made from depleted uranium. Those are crazy expensive and super hard to get. It could be more of a regulatory thing but I just know that you don’t see them everyday for a reason.

Cool video. Sadly Cody's original video got him a visit from the feds.

I see you did the last part cody's lab style! very nice prep man, you should try doing the whole process of extracting uranium from ore, you could even get some radium as well :p
