[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;28906208]I did a lab today to determine the half-lives of some radioactive isotopes. I figure it will help me build up a tolerance to radiation, so when the clouds of nuclear destruction are drifting over the eastern seaboard, I will actually absorb them and rewrite my own genetic code to become a post-human superbeing.[/QUOTE] Do you have these little metal cylinders with the samples? We have them and they are in a little lead box. We detected that the soil in our plants must be from Bavaria since it was full of isotopes from Chernobyl. Was p. awesome. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] I am waiting for a major news story about bananas. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] Btw: Lung cancer from smoking is partly caused by alpha-radiation.
[QUOTE=Wii60;28906203]THEN WHY IS it news seriously[/QUOTE] Because the media loves to create panic. It's even more worthy for them knowing that this is nothing serious, and once everyone goes all "Oh my god wer'e going to die", they can create a large article explaining how it's nothing serious.
So does this mean everyone that drinks milk will turn into Moouls? [editline]ithurts[/editline] oh god im sorry that was terrible

[QUOTE=Wii60;28906203]THEN WHY IS it news seriously[/QUOTE] Media attention!
This isn't new at all. Past nuclear accidents also had radiation show up in local milk though here we are a bit further from the source. Stilla s stated, it's all trace amounts and can be taken care of with a shot of vodka after breakfast.

[QUOTE=CjienX;28906840]This just in, media outlets jump on story that will convince the majority of people that they're in danger when in reality they're perfectly safe. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] Find out what at 11[/QUOTE] [img]http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/10/13/04424cf9-5124-4a30-b8fd-3bdf92305cba.jpg[/img] So basically this?
That's why my fruity pebbles were really bright.
This kind of thing is what prevents people from endorsing irradiated foods(Kills bacteria, makes it safer to consume).
Everything naturally has radiation in it, a fraction more isn't going to kill anyone, this isn't fucking news. People are going to sensationalize it and it's going to hurt legitimate companies. God fucking damnit.
This just in: Your TV emits radiation. So stop watching the news and go outside for fuck's sake.

[QUOTE=ducky5;28919732][media]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2011/03/radiation_chart_01.png[/media] Better chart[/QUOTE] to be honest I never would have guessed there is natural body radiation and radiation in cigarettes. mostly because I barely know anything about how it works
I think the whole point of them whistle-blowing is like a proof of concept. The radiation got into the milk, now think if the radiation was in a large quantity, and dangerous, such like the cesium isotope?
in other news - Low levels of radiation found in bananas worldwide
Nobody tell them we get radiation from the sun.
The comments on that site are so dumb it hurts. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] [quote=Wizard64]from the article: "Spokane, a city of 208,000 residents, is located more than 300 miles east of the Pacific coast." WTF? I didn't know it was an island.[/quote]
guys HEY guys guys guys HEY GUYS next chernobyl right here lets make a story about it :effort:
[QUOTE=Penguiin;28919729]not if it's a non-CRT tv[/QUOTE] It emits at least light, which is radiation as well :) But in general yes, just CRTs emit a little weak X-rays.
It already made my dick smaller, might as well kill me too!
I got dental x-rays taken yesterday. If I got 4 taken that'd be the same as a chest x-ray correct?

For the last few months, I've been exposing myself to sunlight as little as possible. It's starting to make my skin singe a bit by now. That way, when I eventually go underground with others like me to start a new society underground, we'll be safe when the ash from the supervolcano that will eventually erupt, the radiation from the reactors from japan and all the other shit that will inevitably happen starts fucking up Humanity's collective shit. Then we come up and eat the survivors, one of whom will be Nicholas Cage.
No more Lucky Charms for me :saddowns:
Very smart, testing milk from eastern Washington where the Hanford nuclear reactor is. Way to go, guys.

[QUOTE='[DJ Ria];28934097']Very smart, testing milk from eastern Washington where the Hanford nuclear reactor is. Way to go, guys.[/QUOTE] Nuclear reactors release less radioactive materials into the atmosphere than coal plants do by several hundred orders of magnitude. Nuclear reactors also don't release ANY Iodine 131 into the atmosphere unless they are damaged. So yes, this came from Japan.
