Those are the markings found on on radioactive sources for industrial and medical use. If you read those markings, and you don’t know drat well what you’re doing as part of your job, you should do what they say.

Is that the stuff from that Eastern European case report where the guys used the radioactive source as heat overnight and one of them lived for like three years with no flesh on his back? edit: no, that was "90Sr radioisotope sources with an activity of 1295 TBq" https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...xAq0RXMlAYKIAd1 HelloIAmYourHeart fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Feb 6, 2022 |

knuthgrush posted:Ah so it'll make you grow a third butthole or something? Some people have covered this, but for those who aren't as aware of how radiation works, the best case scenario when your cells are exposed to radiation is that they kill themselves (if they don't, that's one of the ways you end up with cancer). If you get a whole lot of cells throughout your body exposed to a large dose of radiation at once, you're hosed, as a large portion of your body is now killing itself, and you're not gonna survive for very long. The only real time you get mutations is in the form of birth defects, and that's when the cells that are responsible for reproduction suffer minor damage to their DNA and don't self-destruct.

I was curious so I mathed it out, if you stood about 1 meter from one of those cobolt-60 sources you'd receive a LD50 dose in about 2 minutes.

Got distracted & pulled the nozzle clear of the fill opening & the stream, wide open, bounced off of the casing full in both eyes.. My eyes involuntarily squeezed shut; I had to be led to the back-room sink & spent 20-minutes hosing my eyes out & hitting my face & eyes with dish detergent. Kept working. Couldn’t see straight for a few hours. The pain was severe. Somehow, no permanent damage.

It's not really that they kill themselves (though a few might, depending on what exactly in the cell the radiation hits). Radiation damage can corrupt DNA to the point where cells can no longer reproduce long before it'll outright kill all the cells. That's really what acute radiation sickness is - you've had enough of a radiation dose that your body can no longer replace cells, it's running on what cells it had when the event happened. So your body systems just progressively shut down, starting with the ones using short-lived cells that are normally replaced frequently like the gut. If you go far beyond a fatal dose then yeah, eventually you end up at a point where all your cells just die immediately because of being blasted with high-energy radiation. But at that point you probably have other things to worry about, like the pressure wave from whatever event created all that radiation.

In the documentary Knuckle, about travellers in the Ireland bare knuckle boxing, one old guy talks about how he used to soak his hands in petrol for twenty minutes a day when training for a fight, to make them hard as stone. Would that also soak up to your brain for a dizzy time during/after?

At my last company, I had to set up a small workshop to prototype robotics parts. Our head of facilities hired a safety consultant to come in, who related a story about a company she consulted for where a manager told her offhand "Yeah, the employees at this company have had quite a few miscarriages at this company over the last few years."

This particular track has always stuck with me due to, well, cobalt-60 and it's effects on the human body as folks here have mentioned.

I have not seen the entire report, thanks for the link! Going to take this opportunity to plug Atomic Accidents by James Mahaffey, an excellent book that goes over most oopsies that have occurred both naturally and as a result of our loving around with things.

PainterofCrap posted:Based on the white jug in the background I’d guess that it’s a DEF pump Yeah, I was crossing my fingers that it was just AdBlue or something. From the way it was foaming up, it seems that way. I really hope a light piss shower is all he got. No matter what, he should have hit the emergency stop. If that didn't work, you cordon off the area or evacuate the site and call the fire brigade. yummycheese posted:gasoline has benzene and a bunch of other carcinogens in it and a pretty big “do not touch” for me. Which is the reason almost everywhere in the world switched to self serve for refuelling. A small exposure every week or so is much better than eight hours a day, five days a week.

Jabor posted:It's not really that they kill themselves (though a few might, depending on what exactly in the cell the radiation hits). Radiation damage can corrupt DNA to the point where cells can no longer reproduce long before it'll outright kill all the cells. Ionizing radiation damages DNA, but it’s not the reproduction that kills you. DNA is a template for protein synthesis. When it’s damaged, the cell may not be able to make or regulate vital proteins it needs to continue living. Some cells will die very rapidly, causing the immediate first wave of radiation sickness. Others will chug along for a while before dying. This is the second wave of radiation sickness, which hits several days later and generally leads to total organ failure. A fatal radiation dose is basically being dead but the cells in your body die at different times over the course of a few days.

For the 3540Ci source I've got about a minute at 18 inches, which I figure is right about long enough to pick it up, squint at it to read it, process what it says, carry out what it says, and maybe survive.

Does gasoline really foam like that? In other videos where gas sprays everywhere it does not look like that. Looks like water for cleaning your windshield to me, but I am obviously no expert.
