The uranium = balls I have (and will soon be selling) move it more. My furniture does = not move the gigacounter (nor does any of meteorites or anything else I c= ould find in my house. =20 My father was a radition specialist in the army and use to give classes i= n the early 80's when everybody was still kinda worried about Russia nuki= ng the US. They used these heavy lead boxes to store small radioactive t= hings in. =20 Also I do not believe, or see how, tin foil would stop a gamma ray or al= pha ray..
