First, let’s get real: the uranium in your tap water isn’t the bomb-grade kind. It’s a naturally occurring heavy metal that’s chemically toxic, not just radioactive. Your kidneys hate it more than your Geiger counter does.
Most home tests won’t catch it unless you specifically ask for a radionuclide panel. If your water comes from a private well in Colorado, New Mexico, or the Midwest, just assume you should check—especially if you’re into that "rustic" lifestyle (read: digging your own well).
