  1. have you considered replacing the radio active items, or are they all radioactive by nature so there would be no point?

    1. Oh no, he bought the click and the plates *because* they were radioactive! As far as smoke detectors go, they all come with a small amount of Americium. It's how smoke detectors register the presence of smoke.

      The plates are "radioactive red" Fiestaware glades with delete uranium from the 1930s. But they're kept in a safe, shielded place.

  2. Yep, I knew you had to be talking about fiestaware! Just discovered this blog when I read Tonk's Tail this morning
