My wife collects uranium glass. It’s mostly safe. Most uranium glass has very little uranium in it and that is mostly sealed away within the glass. However, like lead crystal glass, very very very tiny amounts can leach out over time and end up in food or drink. The amount that can leach out like this is not going to cause any problems for you. Still, wash before and after use to further minimize contamination and don’t used chipped or scratched glass that could shed larger particles.
I wouldn’t use them as my every day plates but for special occasions it’s a fun conversation starter.

Excuse my ignorance but what is washing gonna do? Also did you tried using a geiger counter?
“what the fuck is this”
“it’s uranium”
