Plutonium is not water soluble. It also mainly emits alpha particles, which means it has to be ingested to do any harm.

Isn't the chemical toxicity of plutonium much greater than the radiation danger from such close contact? I remember it being listed as the most poisonous substance back when I read Guiness records for entertainment.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Note to self: don't drink plutonium.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet Sunday here. After groceries, I'm getting a trim.(one or two inches off my hair, just to even things out.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am quite pleased with my cheesecake so far, now to see how it handles freezing. Quite a lot to do today, but I feel pretty energetic and it's not supposed to be hot, so maybe I won't leave too much undone...

not your mom's socks.

Egad. HPF has asked for an astronomy party for her ninth birthday. I guess we're doing something right? Now what do we do?

Her birthday is the night of the Leonids, which will start after the 5 or 6 nine and ten year olds go to bed. And it will be cold with a full moon. We have one decent telescope. And a bunch of star cookie cutters.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm back. I don't know about the rest of you.

Definitely having a CFS day. I got out early and did some very necessary food shopping, but my get-up seems to have gone.

YOLO.

Well, yeah, especially if you're drinking plutonium.

YAY BACK.

the BEIR VII lifetime risk model predicts that approximately 1 person in 100 would be expected to develop cancer (solid cancer or leukemia) from a dose of 0.1 Sv above background, while approximately 42 of the 100 individuals would be expected to develop solid cancer or leukemia from other causes.

Er, wait, am I reading that right? 42% of people are going to have cancer? And if you give them all .1 Sv above background....43% of them will?
