That's next to nothing. A friend of mine with interest in minerals found a
piece of Pechblende (Uranit) simply laying on the street near
St.Joachimsthal
where they used to dig for silver over the centuries and after 1945 for
uranium.
We put it on a sheet of Polaroid film for the Tektronix scope cameras and
sure enough, next morning we could see the silhouette of the stone,
completely white, probably way overexposed.
