Oooohhhh... Love it! I collect Uranium Glass. If you see someone with a UV flashlight at a sale, you know they are a kindred spirit.

The fluorescense has nothing to do with the radioactivity. One is a property of the electrons and the other one of the nucleus

This implies causal links between two unrelated phenomena. The fluorescence has no connection with radioactivity except both are aspects of Uranium. <br>The glass does not glow in the dark either.
