really hit tag limit on cat Geiger counter post for the sake of making the one kitty litter radiation cleanup joke
#tho ngl I also just like talking about radiation#also the odds of this being an issue to anyone are low but . please don’t follow my radiation safety advice for realsies#like I am certified in working with some radioactives but unless you are too if you find something radioactive#and aren’t trained to deal with it or even if you are don’t know the specific source#leave#456 words#also for me my work radiation safety training was literally like. an online module w some vids and quizzes#and then they were like (((((: go forth and play with radiation it’s now your job to fix it if it’s not literally contaminating everything#like girl I’ve seen a video now I’m responsible for monthly contamination testing ……..#that said our radioactives were very tame#most exciting thing that happened was me knocking over a shielded box of radioactive aliquots off of a nutator#and diving on the floor to pick them all up and put them back in the box#which was almost certainly overdramatic and unnecessary#actually wait no how did I forget the time someone left the door open to the radioactives fridge and it started melting and I had to thaw#and de ice and trash the contents of the entire fridge#and make sure all the ice melt wasnt radioactive#annoying af#lost a lot of phosphorus that day. sad#anyway. I’m procrastinating work but fun fact: kitty litter* IS used to clean up radioactive spills#quite literally#asterisk bc it has to be a specific type of litter tho#iirc there was a pretty big incident somewhere where they used the wrong cat litter#by big I mean. made an annoying mess to clean up and prob got someone fired#not like. nuclear meltdown everyone dies#radioactives get a very bad reputation when they are prob one of the least dangerous things you might have to work with#I’d take them over mundane things like paint fumes or acrylic resins or exhaust any day#so much of what I worked with in that same lab was far more dangerous and far less regulated#you’d think the radioactives and the gmo bacteria would be what fucks you up#but that shits got nothing on acrylamide or half the chemicals you casually use
