Re[2]: Fiesta Ware and DU ammunition

["William CTR Kolb"<William.CTR.Kolb@faa.gov>]

     The new (1990s) color is called persimmon and does not look quite the 
     same as the 1930s-1950s red orange uranium glaze. Most sellers know 
     the difference so it pays to ask. If they don't know for sure, shop 
     with somone who does. And you are correct, the new glaze does not 
     contain uranium.

Radsafers,
     
I looked at the Fiestaware plate for sale on eBay. I believe it is a NEW 
plate with no radioactivity. I.e., it has no Uranium salt coloration. It is 
only the old Fiestware that is "hot".
     
I have seen new, non-radioactive, Fiestaware in department stores like 
Macy's, Stern's, etc.

PS. Please do not reply and tell me everything is radioactive!  :)
