According to Michigan State University, the use of uranium was deregulated in 1958, and production of uranium glass picked up again—except this time, only depleted uranium was used.
A bottle of Radithor at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in New Mexico, United States. Radithor was a radioactive patent medicine brand of distilled water containing at least 1 microcurie (37 kBq) each of the radium-226 and 228 isotopes, sold in half-ounce bottles.

Unlike radiotherapy , which is the scientifically sound use of radiation for the destruction of cells (usually cancer cells), quackery pseudo-scientifically promotes ...
The fact that he had the highly radioactive Pu-238 (produced in the 60-inch cyclotron at the Crocker Laboratory by deuteron bombardment of natural uranium) [10] contributed heavily to his long-term dose. Had all of the plutonium given to Stevens been the long-lived Pu-239 as used in similar experiments of the time, Stevens's lifetime dose would ...
