Fiesta Dinnerware on American Restoration

I was watching some DVR events today and came across an episode of American Restoration where they were refurbishing a uranium detector. They consulted with the National Atomic Testing Museum on the detector and even got a sample of uranium to prove to the owner that the detector was in good working order. The museum gave them a red Fiesta dinnerware cup and saucer to test the detector. As we discussed in our study, much of the ceramic dinnerware produced prior to the 1970's used uranium oxide in its red dinnerware. As a result, there was a detectable amount of radiation in the dinnerware.
