     station

     is uranium glazed???
     That must be tens of kg of uranium!

     Hot damn I almost didn't want to leave

     Edit:
     Fuck sake there are so many armchair experts here.
     NO, this is NOT dangerous!
     Radiation is all around you and so far you have done just fine surviving that.
     It's a nice color and an interesting historical fact, and that's all there's to it.

     @North Yep,!
     I actually confirmed that, in the center of each walkway the radiation is less than at the surface.

     @gigabecquerel Being underground with concrete above you is probably shielding you from more radiation than you're getting from the glaze, lol. People have a poor conception of radiation hazard. I blame science communication and holdovers from the Cold War.

     It's a unique color, though! I love the variation between the tiles
