Reminds me of the "your keyboard is dirtier than your asshole" and similar 'myths' that no one would bother to verify. I mean I would rather lick a keyboard than a butthole (with exceptions of course)
I wouldn't lick my own keyboard, but licking my own asshole sounds interesting

My understanding is that reactor and waste pools are some of the least radioactive environments as they are constantly monitored for leakage.
TFA says: “The individual was decontaminated by radiation protection personnel but had 300 counts per minute detected in their hair. At 1632 EDT they were sent off site to seek medical attention.” Apparently they do have concerns.

dunno if the life vest bit comment of yours was sarcastic, but it is a funny remark for sure :-) it sounds like "guy felt down in a volcano, but fortunately, he had a life vest"

Wow, people are really clueless about how nuclear power plants really work. It's really not that dangerous to fall into the water.
Hey, no need to be condescending. Some people just haven't read [the xkcd.]( https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ )

Rather more like "Guy fell over looking into the volcano but fortunately there's a metal fence". The most immediate danger to you is that you'll drown because radioactive water is water and you can't breathe. So the life vest avoids this. In contrast volcanic lava absolutely can kill you before you drown, no problem. Yes, radioactivity isn't good. You should not, for example, drink this water, or swim in it once a we…

How dumb do you have to be to not only fall into it but to also swallow it...

Possibly, but I wouldn't think "least radioactive environments in a nuclear reactor" is a low bar. I don't know, though.
