Meltdown Alarm Clock, New low price - £17.50 inc UK p&p
WARNING WARNING Honnnk Honnnk WARNING WARNING… If that
doesn’t get you up in the morning then nothing short of a small nuclear
detonation will. It’s the Meltdown Alarm Clock, and all you need to know is
that at the appointed time, as shown by the LCD display on the front, the large
red beacon on the top lights up and starts spinning, accompanied by a siren and
a voice warning. In case of false alarms – maybe it’s Saturday or you have the
day off – just press down on the light dome for a well-earned snooze.
For those who care about such things it is
approximately 150mm tall x 118mm at the base, it’s powered by 3 x AA cells (not
supplied), plus 1 x LR44 (supplied) for the clock, and in case you have
structural issues with your bedside table, it tips the scales at at around
350g.
Before
you ask, it is supposed to look that way… It’s a joke, honestly, and hasn’t
ever been anywhere near a derelict nuclear power plant but it is a real,
working thermometer. It’s made of printed tin, and as you can see it’s got up
to look like it’s been decaying for years. Don’t worry, it won’t rust or
contaminate your home or office but it is the ideal gift for the nuclear
scientist in your life, or anyone going for that retro atomic age, post
apocalypse look. For the record it measures approx 265mm (10.5 inches) tall by
70mm (2.75in) wide. The glass thermometer tube is 155mm (6in) long and a tough
metal shield protects the bulb. Temperature is shown in centigrade and
Fahrenheit, it has mounting hole at the top and there are a couple of cushioned
pads on the back to stop it waving in the wind and to protect your wall.

French Radioactive Toilet Paper (TP01), £5.00 per roll inc UK
p&p
Don't get caught short - just 1 left!
Having confused the security personnel at Toulouse (two loos...) airport, after finding a roll of this in our luggage, we’re flushed with pride
over our latest bizarre discovery.
It’s a roll (200 sheets) of French bog-standard,
but soft and absorbent 3-ply toilet paper, emblazoned with the Trefoil symbol
and a clearly printed warning ‘Zone Radioactive’.
It’s handy for little
jobbies, like wiping up small radioactive spills and a perfect gift for nuclear
scientists with leaky plumbing, or indeed anyone looking for a really weird
present, and you can be pretty sure that whoever you give it to won’t already
have one… Hurry, we’re straining to get some more, but supplies are bottoming
out, a real bummer…
Here is
a unique opportunity to own a rare and unusual piece of radioactive history. We have acquired a
small stock of genuine 1930's Art Deco style glass bowls, made by the Bagley
Crystal Glass Company of Knottingly.
The
beautifully fluted green bowls measure approximately 13.5cm across. They are part of the Carnival
collection and made from 'pressed' glass, doped with small amounts of
radioactive Uranium (it's also known as Vaseline or 'Depression' glass).
The Uranium gives the bowl a distinctive lustre in sunlight and
an eerie glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. The glass remains mildly
radioactive and in very close proximity registers on our more sensitive Geiger Counters (CDV700,
Radex 1503, 1706, etc), with slightly elevated counts above background
levels.
Nevertheless they are safe and legal to own, though we strongly
recommend they are only used for display and testing purposes and, like any glass object should be kept well out of the reach of
children.
We will include one of our UV key ring torches with each bowl, so you
can see the remarkable glow for yourself. Stocks are very limited so order now
to avoid disappointment.
Vintage
Firestone ‘Radioactive’ Spark Plugs in Glass Domes
(SP01)£15.99 inc UK p&p
Don't
worry, these Firestone spark plugs are almost 60 years old and no longer
radioactive; they are perfectly safe to own and handle. The radioactive
Polonium 210 used in the electrodes was supposed to improve engine performance
and fuel consumption (apparently it didn't...) but in any event it had a short
'half life' of just 138 days, which means that three years after they were made
virtually all of the radioactivity had decayed and turned into a
non-radioactive isotope of lead.
We
have managed to acquire a very small number of these spark plugs, which were
recently discovered in a bankrupt auto parts store. They were manufactured in
the USA by Firestone and come from a batch date stamped November 1941. The
plugs have never been used and come with their original cardboard box, which
will be included.
The
model shown is an MH-40 type and it has been carefully mounted inside a
beautifully made domed glass presentation case with turned and polished oak
hardwood base, capped with green felt, to protect your surfaces. The dome is
approximately 88mm high and 47mm in diameter; the base is 75mm in diameter. In
addition to the original box and its packing you will also receive the printed
wax paper Firestone information leaflet/wrapper supplied with these spark
plugs. The actual spark plugs are in excellent as-new condition, they have
not been damaged in any way and can be removed from the mount and used for
their intended purpose (we believe they fit some late 1940's Chevys) should you
so desire.
Once our small stock has
been sold there will be no more so don't miss this incredibly rare opportunity
to own a piece of automotive history and WW II memorabilia, with macabre
contemporary overtones.
Quite possibly the last remaining Nuclear Doorbells in the UK -
there will be no more!
Here is a fun addition to our Nuclear Novelties range: This
super-loud Wireless Nuclear Doorbell announces visitors with 3 randomly
selected warnings (‘Attention, Attention, someone has pressed the doorbell,
please remain calm’..Click below to hear a short clip). The base unit is based around the
standard yellow and black warning nuclear warning symbol and the yellow panels
flash when the remote doorbell button is pressed. It works at a distance of
approximately 20 metres and comes with a fixing kit.
It is really easy to install – no wiring required - and,
once activated will it will certainly put an end to the perennial question:
‘Was that the doorbell?’ Dimensions: 20x19x1cm, weight approx 0.454kg.
Deep inside the crystal
clear resin casting is a small number of Trinitite fragments. This is the
actual material created by the very first atomic bomb blast in the New Mexico
Desert in the early hours of July 16th1945. The sand beneath the bomb site was
fused into a strange green glass-like compound by the explosion. Over the years
it has lost almost all of its radioactivity and the dense resin blocks any
residual emissions. The fragments are suspended over a reproduction of the US
army map of the test site.
This is another anythingradioactive exclusive.
Trinitite from the test site is no longer allowed to be removed, so this is
a rare and possibly unrepeatable opportunity to own a little piece of history
from the Atomic age. Each paperweight measures approximately 65mm x 25mm,
backed with green felt and supplied with an information sheet about Trinitite
and the Trinity test.
Each one of our Trinitite paperweights is hand-made and unique and the size and number of the particles will vary from that shown

Radioactive NiteGlowRing 10-Year Life! (NGR 001) £11.50,
inc UK p&p
Pink, Blue or Green
That’s right, the unique Nite Glowring is powered by
radioactivity and will emit a glow that can be seen from 30 feet away for up to
10 years. It’s perfect for finding your keys in the dark and an absolute must
for campers – no more playing hunt the zip… Doubtless you can think of 1001
other uses, but hey, it’s just amazing to watch, and great fun under the bed
sheets. Don’t forget, there are no batteries to buy, ever, and it’ll still be
glowing strong ten years from now. That’s a whole decade’s worth of atomic
illumination for just over £1 a year!
Here’s the science bit. Embedded inside the tough
polycarbonate capsule is a tiny glass tube called a Gaseous Tritium Light
Source (GTLS – there’s more info HERE). Inside
the tube is a minute amount of radioactive Tritium gas and as it disintigrates
Beta particles (essentially footloose electrons) are emitted that causes luminous
material on the inside of the tube to glow – it's a bit like an old style CRT TV
picture tube. The particles do not leave the glass tube (they can only travel 1
– 3 mm in air and certainly cannot penetrate human skin).
Not suitable for children under 5 due to possible choking hazard
Atomic Robot Man Collectable (ARM 001) £9.99 inc UK p&p
Introducing Atomic Robot Man, anythingradioactive’s newest
recruit. Prepare to be amazed! Wind him
up and watch him go – as he spreads nuclear mayhem. Entirely clockwork - no batteries required - just make sure you don’t lose the key! A
must for collectors.
Atomic Robot Man, standing a mighty 13.5cm and weighing in
at 90g, is a faithful reproduction of the original Japanese 1940s wind up
tin toy, thought to be the second toy robot ever made. Even the box is an
excellent copy of the original.
This
model is made of painted tin and there are some sharp edges and small
components so it must not be given to small children and kept well out of their
reach.
Not everything that ticks is radioactive. The face
of this stylish and very trendy wall clock is a Radioactive Category III
warning sign and swinging to and fro underneath on the pendulum is the classic round
‘trefoil’ radioactivity symbol.
The diamond shaped clock face measures 200 x
200mm and uses a high quality quartz movement with integral hanging hook and it
will run for around a year on a single AA cell.
As usual the design is exclusive to anythingradioactive; these
clocks are hand built and will be produced in very limited numbers so hurry,
time is running out…

Boxed Vintage Polonium Spark Plug (SP03) £25.99
inc. UK p&p
It’s okay, this 50-year-old
Firestone T-30 spark plug is no longer radioactive and is perfectly safe to own

Radium Watch Hand Paperweight & UV Torch (P002)
£9.99
inc UK p&p
These
exquisite miniature paperweights feature two Radium-painted watch hands,
encapsulated in crystal clear resin. One is a genuine antique, probably made
between the turn of the last century and the 1930s, the other is a NOS (new old
stock) hand, a spare part, never used and possibly made in the late 50s or 60s.
The radium paint used in their manufacture is only mildly radioactive, and securely contained by the resin
(though weak emissions may still be detected using highly sensitive instruments, like our
Dual Probe geiger counters).
Roll mouse over picture to see it glow.
There are two to choose from, one hemispherical
in shape, measuring 30mm in diameter by 12mm thick; the other is rectangular
and measures 40 x 30 x 4mm. Both types come with one of our UV
keyring torches (may differ from that shown) so you can see the hands glow in the
dark.
Produced at huge expense to the British taxpayer for the Ministry of Defence
this vintage ‘NBC’ protection suit is designed to help keep military personnel safe in the event
of a nuclear, biological or chemical attack. Now you can have one of your own, at a fraction of the original cost. Keep one handy, just in case the balloon goes up, or
use them for outdoor pursuits like paintballing, hiking and doing stuff in the woods….
The two-piece outfit is made from a high quality camouflage
material and comprises a jacket with coverall hood and trousers. Both garments are elasticated
in all the right places and adjustable with Velcro straps ; the jacket has a storm flap and
they both have plenty of pockets ,for your Geiger counter, decontamination pack and small change.
We only have the large size available but it comfortably fits most people up to 6 foot 2
inches (1.87 metres) tall.
These suits are supplied in their original MOD
vacuum packs, so they are in as-new condition.
By the way, the gas mask & model are not included...
anythingradioactive brings you its fascinating and bizarre range of nuclear novelties and other atomic goodies - some are emblazoned with the three bladed 'trefoil' radioactivity symbol and, occasionally, the stern warning 'Caution Toxic Waste'.
No need to bury these items deep underground for ten thousand years, they're mostly non-radioactive and safe to use right now.

About our Paperweights
Our paperweights are not mass-produced. Each one is individually cast and hand finished and, therefore,a one-off product. The exact size may vary and they may contain very minor imperfections but we believe this adds to their character and uniqueness.
