last couple of comments are pretty much right you know how they say the uranium waste out of nuclear plants stays around for millions of year cuase it has a half life of a couple of million years so it gives half of its energy over a couple million years its when its refined enriched and then very VERY!!! compressed like in a nuke with the other explosives around it that go off first to compress it then you need to activate it to get the reaction going and then you need a lot so it can go critical but only then its really dangerous and give off a lot of radiation also plain it gives off the weakest types of radiation but im pretty sure that its pretty toxin so i wouldnt want to be carry it around in my pocket and somewhere down its break down it turns to francium a very small a amout but still and then i think that after that is radon which is not to good either but as it breaks down so slowly i dont think it produces much like that if you didnt handle it much and had it in a backpack and didnt keep it there to longand then after that didnt have it in a inclosed space so the radon dosnt build up and but even so it could still be dangerous i guess i just condradicted my self but whatever i think that closes it
