I was always soooooo jealous of my brother who got all the cool Gilbert sets....I'd have to wait until he went to summer camp and use them on the *sly*.

I did the American Basic Science Club kit a month.

About all I remember from the nuclear kit was that it came with a bit of radium painted on head of pin and stored in a cardboard tube to protect it from abrasion.

I don't recall any uranium.

And yes, it did say to get dry ice to "see" the particle decay.

Oh, and that "projector/illuminator" was came in an earlier kit, maybe the photography and/or optics.
