    It used to be a game for be to take out my frustrations by going in for an IVP, and peeing on lower base in his building to see if I could get off the lower base before the radiation alarms put it in lockdown
    At least you always kept them on their toes with regular practise incase something bad happened.

      The husband sometimes uses radioactive material in his lab work. There is a classic story about one of his former lab-mates who once managed to make his entire left hand radioactive by ignoring protocols. Legend has it that to this day (and it's been a couple years) when the radiation safety people come by to check the lab, he hides because if they get near him their Geiger counters go nuts.

        I work in a place that more than likely makes the stuff Jedimaster works with, so Geiger counters and how to use them are just part of the gig. .

        Once you get used to the clicking and occasional screams from them, it just sorta fades into the background. When they go nuts now, it's usually a feeling of "Oh shit - have to decontaminate" as opposed to "Oh SHIT! I'm gonna DIE!"

        Have to admit the Cobalt-60 pools have a really cool blue glow to them.


        And it's nice being able to save on the hydro bills by just using the natural glow of my fingers to see at night.
