While the levels aren't anything crazy, it's funny how places like Japan and Ukraine will limit access to even lower-level pollution zones (10 microSV/h) while the US allows literally anyone to walk up and touch raw uranium ore if they want. Just a little, as a treat. Appreciate the videos, you've earned a sub and I hope you keep them coming for a long time!
-
least they put those signs in there so the bats know it's radioactive too
-
The uranium mineralization is localized in the various channel scours of the basal Triassic Chinle formation. A well-known source of uranium in the Colorado Plateau.
-
Found this Channel a week ago, absolutely love the quality of these videos, and the history of them. 10/10 keep it up.
-
The fall hazard is definitely a higher risk than the radiation dose.
-
I see a video from Radioactive Drew and I immediately watch.

This is my new favorite channel. Former National Park Ranger here and huge rockhound/radiation nerd. Your videos are stellar. You would have made a great interpretive Ranger yourself. A natural. I tried applying at Manhattan Project NHS here in Oak Ridge, TN to no avail. Now I am going for Computer Science at the local college so we can afford to move back out west where I left my heart 4 years ago… i miss all of the years of rockhounding in east UT and west CO.

Great job, enjoy seeing the many old mines and the beautiful surroundings.
-
Sick video, really glad I found your channel Drew!
-
Another great video Drew! You be safe out there and try not to fall off any cliffs!
-
I was waiting for this one! I live pretty close to Capital Reef and I've spent a decent amount of time checking out this site
-
I just found this channel a few days ago. I love it so much. Radiation history/science is niche interest of mine so I’m glad there’s a whole channel dedicated to it.
-
What killed the uranium mining in Utah was it was all low grade. We get better stuff out of Australia.
-
That was an awesome video! You are brave climbing up and down from the nines with a camera in your hand! That area is really beautiful and the geology of the rocks is neat! Those lower nines have a lot of radioactivity outside the bat gates! It's pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing Drew! Can't wait for the Oppenheimer video!
-
I got myself a Radiacode 102 and I love it keep up the awesome videos Drew 😃
-
Thanks Drew!
-
Love your adventures throughout the west . We used to ride our dirt bikes all over where you been . But didn’t know about this Now I’m old guy still loving geology and enthuse more about radioactive material ore and useful electronics. Would love to discuss more with you . Thank you for the vast info you provide on your Excursions . Thumbs up! Just purchased a Radacode 102 to add to my arsenal
-
I love this, I really want to visit a spot like this someday. Also love the shots and sound quality, it's really immersive and calming.
-
I’m glad they put bat gates on the mines so we can have radioactive bats.

Always a good day Radioactive Drew drops a new video!
