Nick, Well, consider this: "Uranium tiles have been used in the glazing industry for many centuries, as uranium oxide makes an excellent ceramic glaze, and is reasonably abundant on the earth's crust."
Was it yellow? <G> The yellow glazed tiles were said to be particularly strong emitters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_tile Terry probably remembers 'Knuke', who claimed to have unusual cavitation results with these tiles, but the details of that episode are lost in memory. Jones -----Original Message----- From: Nick Palmer <<If by some quirk of luck, the Cincinnati method of making the tile was similar to the Arata method>> I don't think they made them. The tile I saw in Chris Tinsley's living room literally WAS a kitchen tile (I'm 90% sure) with a melted hole in it. Chris remarked something like "you ought to see it when the reaction lights up".
