    A guy who used to work at a nuclear reactor was telling me how water is very effective at absorbing radiation, so radioactive waste can be kept at the bottom of a deep pool and the level of radiation at the surface will be completely safe.

    I asked him “Does that mean I could swim in one of those pools?”

    He said “No, you would be killed.”
