Radioactive materials that glow in the dark do not necessarily emit more radiation; the brightness of the glow is not a reliable indicator of radiation intensity, as demonstrated by comparing a barely glowing dorium pendant (barely above background radiation), a vintage radium clock (over 1 microcurie per hour), and natural uranium ore (over 5 microcuries per hour).

More glow = more radiation? Idk. Watch this video and find out π€·ββοΈ lolAdded:
These radioactive objects glow in the dark. But the question is, which one emits the most radiation? Does a brighter glow really mean it's more radioactive? Let's find out. Check out this dorium pendant. It is literally just barely above background radiation.
Honestly, a bit underwhelming. Uranium glass. This was really anticlimactic. I mean, even the natural background radiation in Milan is higher than this.
Vintage radium clock and it's over one microvers per hour. Honestly, not bad.
Here we have this natural uranium ore and it's literally over five microcevers per hour. That is five times the amount compared to the radium clock. So overall, a brighter glow does not necessarily mean more radiation. And this was all measured with radiocode revealing what you can't see.
