  Going to warn you, a couple of the orphaned source stories are…not wonderful.

    Reading investigation the IAEA did on the Sarov guy, it sounds like he didn’t die painfully. It would have fucking sucked, but the only pain he described was a headache and when they physically examined him in a few places.

    He died of heart failure, but they were unable to tell what that really meant, the cell structure of everything in his body had been destroyed.

      You know, somehow I’m convinced his last 66 hours really sucked. I think I’m going to remain convinced of that.

      Also, in the comment you replied to, I wasn’t referring to the Sarov video or the several stories like it. An orphaned source is some amount of radioactive material that has been misplaced or abandoned by those that should have been responsible for it. Tragedy strikes when innocent people stumble across it and are then injured or killed. The Goiânia incident is a particularly gut wrenching story.

        Oh yeah, no I caught that.

        That’s just my brain said it would make sense to bring it up.
