Can you touch uranium with your bare hands and what are the effects?
Uranium is a very dense metal. The most common isotope, U238, has a very long half life. You can touch the ore, which is known as yellowcake. You could also hold the metal formed from that ore, pure uranium. Although it is radioactive, the half life is so long that only a few atoms of a large mass decay. The radiation emitted would be somewhat similar to normal background radiation. Depleted uranium (U238 which has had U235 and other isotopes removed) is used for some antitank shells because it is so heavy. It makes a great kinetic weapon.Uranium burns much like magnesium, so don't smoke around it!
