What happens when the casing get punctured? When you mass produce these devices these things will happen.
Probably the same as with tritium lumes. Only dangerous if you swallow the unshielded nickel.
So literal death sentence, got it.
I mean so is drinking a gallon of bleach. Fortunately, there’s a pretty simple preventative measure for both:
Don’t do it?
What gave you the idea that swallowing a small amount of mildly radioactive material is fatal?
Man, I figured the joke was obvious but I guess not.
“tiny amount of radioactive material whose radiation stopped by thin plastics is a literal death sentence” is, I thought, pretty clear hyperbole.
A lot of people are really irrationally afraid of anything involving radiation. I mistook you for one of them.
No worries. Glow it up, let’s get some extreme energy density up in this bitch. I went for nuke in the old days where I enlisted in the military.
I have a healthy respect for radiation. That’s why I leave handling the good stuff to the professionals.
I’ve actually got some small isotope samples in a lockbox from an old highschool demonstration lab for Geiger counters. No Geiger counter though yet. I haven’t even opened it since I got it to check the contents were intact.
pen-sized-ish Geiger counters/scintillating meters are pretty cheap these days.
