PS.
I'm pretty darn drunk so I had t read what I wrote 3 times and I'm still not sure what I wrote exactly. So beware, I might have written some extremely BS stuff about things I really know nothing about!

Merry.... holidays! (Häid pühi! in Estonian!)

I love this feeling dude. Typing during 10 minutes and then realize you don't know shit about it, but you're not sure if what you've wrote is meaningful or not ;)

Anyway, Häid pühi!

I think the point is still about the potential harm vs the chance of an accident to happen, which by itself means nothing, but it starts meaning something when you think how just a single accident can harm a lot of people and make several places uninhabitable for several years, and in turn contaminate and render radioactive other materials too (even with some "common" radioactive materials). Here you can find a list of the known civil accidents involving radioactive material of a common type (mostly the one used in radio therapy equipment). In several of these accidents (let's say mostly before 90's) people didn't even consider radioactivity as a danger or a possible cause of their illness cause both of a lack of knowledge or either understating the effects.

Quote
December 6, 1983 – Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. A local resident salvaged materials from a discarded radiation therapy machine containing 6,000 pellets of cobalt-60. The transport of the material led to severe contamination of his truck. When the truck was scrapped, it in turn contaminated another 5,000 metric tonnes of steel to an estimated 300 Ci (11 TBq) of activity. This steel was used to manufacture kitchen and restaurant table legs and rebar, some of which was shipped to the U.S. and Canada. The incident was discovered months later when a truck delivered contaminated building materials to the Los Alamos National Laboratory drove through a radiation monitoring station. Contamination was later measured on roads used to transport the original damaged radiation source. Some pellets were actually found embedded in the roadway. In the state of Sinaloa, 109 houses were condemned due to use of contaminated building material. This incident prompted the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Customs Service to install radiation detection equipment at all major border crossings.[20]

Those Mexicans are always sending us contaminated stuff. First lead in the candy and now radiation in our kitchen goods.

Well back in 1979 you were messing things up good enough by your own http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident

... not to mention the nuclear tests ...
What if you could change the world by changing your perspective of it?
Would you?

So, for you this topic it's a joke, or menace - like in 1945:


This film is very inappropriate in relation to the victims.
