Yep, it's actually amazing how un-radioactive meteorites are, when you
consider where they have come from and that some have actually melted due to
radioactivity, long ago.

I guess the differentiation on an asteroid and the fact that there is no
aqueous action on the rocks, means that any naturally occurring
radioisotopes are well dispersed, and not concentrated enough to measure.

Lots of short lived isotopes on new falls due to cosmic events though..

Well, I have 3 Geiger counters, but not radioactive meteorites...;-

I?m also a collector of minerals, and there are many, many minerals,
radioactive in the nature. Some slightly, like Columbite, some not so
slightly, like Uranite, these I keep in my garage, but my Brahins are
all in the house ;-

best,
