- W1563013909 abstract "On the Radioactivity of Fiestaware Eric B. Norman Nuclear Science Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory March 13, 2002 In order to investigate the question of the radioactivity of Fiestaware, I borrowed from Lee Schroeder 9 small Fiestaware plates of different colors. Eight of these plates are shown in the photograph below. The ninth was a “rose” colored plate that I got from Lee a few days after the first batch. I also borrowed three pieces of Fiestaware from Christine Donahue: a yellow teapot, a light-yellow creamer and a light-yellow dinner plate. I counted each sample individually for 5 minutes using a shielded 110 cm 3 high-purity germanium detector in Room 131 of Bldg. 88. I also obtained a room background spectrum for 5 minutes. Figure 1. Eight of the nine Fiestaware plates that were studied. The only plate that showed a measurable net activity above room background was the orange colored plate. The background subtracted spectrum obtained for the orange plate is shown below. The gamma-ray peaks seen in this spectrum are attributable to the decay of uranium isotopes and their daughters. This result is not surprising, because the orange color of the plate is due to the presence of uranium oxide in the glaze. I also counted the radiation from this orange plate using several other types of counters. Using an LBNL alpha counter, I" @default.
