trailboss99 994 Posted April 15, 2011 This is a Russian girl's watch Kenny, lol. MY NAME IS NATASHA, and I have this watch on BRACELET ! I'd hit it. They don't look very happy chappies do they? soooo I have bad news for you guys, the watch has got Alpha radiation... see video below Pussies! Wat's a little radiation? I'm still trying to find a source for Tritium powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted April 15, 2011 Col. lol I wonder, how is Tritium radioactive or it is photoactive ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted April 15, 2011 Tritium is radioactive. It is luminous, not luminescent. Tritium itself does not glow, it excites the molecules in a phosphorescent powder mixed in with it to produce a glow. That is why it only lasts so long. The radiation kills the phosphors well before the tritium itself decays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted April 15, 2011 Na, under 20 bucks for a key ring. If you want a usable light then yes, it expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
