COFFINITE is a fairly common uranium
mineral. Typically, it has scattered
colors of yellow and black on its rock
surface. Jurassic Canyon NM is the
USA's richest location for URANIUM
rocks to be found, on or near the
ground surface.
Radiation levels above 40,000. CPM are
considered high levels, with regard to
comparison with other natural
radioactive rocks. This rock, with
42,572. CPM response, is high-level.
NOTE that applications in industrial,
medical, or military uses have far
higher radiation levels than those
found in natural uranium rocks.
ALPHA RADIATION is the radiation type
that is most easily blocked by barriers,
even by clothing, paper, or the skin.
Alpha radiation is the radiation type that
is most commonly emitted by natural
uranium. By contrast, Gamma ray
radiation, is the "Macho" type of
radiation. Gamma rays penetrate all
barriers, even metals such as lead.
Gamma rays make space travel difficult,
because cosmic rays in outer space are
mainly gamma radiation. Cosmic radiation
at the ISS space station is 240 times
more intense than natural surface
radiation on Earth; At the surface of red
planet Mars, the radiation is 730 times
more intense than Earth's surface
radiation. The Gamma Ray Burst of
October 2022, a tightly focused narrow
beam, traveled 2.4 billion light years to
Earth; it was the most intense energy
event since the early "Big Bang." That
GRB interrupted low-frequency AM-
radio on Earth for four days.) The GRB
of October 2022 was labeled by
astronomers as the BOAT-GRB:
"Brightest of All Time, Gamma Ray Burst."
