Gotta love the conclusion: "In summary, it is preferable to not eat spent nuclear fuel."

It was interesting to see that it truly was only "preferable" and not "mandatory" or "this will kill you" IMO

That's the interesting thing: it's not really very hazardous, but it is awfully annoying.

That's the interesting thing: it's not really very hazardous, but it is awfully annoying.

And not even "annoying due to health issues" but instead "annoying because it'll make you leave your job if you work in a field with dosage limits" and "annoying because you'll be setting off the radiation detectors when leaving the exclusion zone"
