6943 Nice! Does this mean they pay your for those three hours, because if not that would suck.

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

6944. Yep.

Point of note: I'm still at work. Because I have a student in doing sample prep, so I can't really leave early.

 

[MrMonsterGuy18]

6945 That sucks. I mean, you can tell him “Yellowcake is actually cake” then you might be able to, but if he does eat it he shouldn’t be allowed near it

6946. As a guy who knows about geology and mining, he might have an inkling about what that is, you never know though. I tested a rock someone found on a beach recently for radioactivity, it was around 90 μSv/hr, approx 400 counts per second.

6948 I’m assuming that means it’s not very radioactive

6950. For reference, we won’t allow any samples above 10 uSv/hr in the lab, and we won’t process (cut or grind) any samples above 1 uSv/hr.

6952. I guess to a certain extent, how radioactive something is might be a matter of perspective, and context. Anything emitting neutrons is especially dangerous as those can make other things radioactive.

 

[MrMonsterGuy18]

6953 so to become a horrible person you need to get something that emits neutrons and put it in a person, but then replace it every once in a while if they’re still alive

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

6954. They wouldn't be alive for long, I suspect.

 

[MrMonsterGuy18]

6955 Probably

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

6956. It would be a singularly unpleasant way to go though too

 

[duckfan77]

6957

 

[MrMonsterGuy18]

6958 True, but I do kinda wonder what would happen

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

6959. Sickness, hair falling out, lesions probably, organ failure...

 

[MrMonsterGuy18]

6960 Yeah, doesn’t sound fun

 

[duckfan77]

6961 Radiation sickness isn't
