Uranium: From Yellow Glass to Little Boy
Uranium shows up in nearly 45% of Connecticut's private wells, yet the danger there isn't radiation — it's your kidneys. This episode traces the strangest arc in the periodic table: how a metal used to tint Roman glass and Fiestaware became the fissile heart of the Manhattan Project. Along the way: why natural uranium can't power a reactor, how it's forged only in supernovae, and why the element itself doesn't know what we've done with it.
