Well, you're already radioactive. But being exposed to enough radiation can increase your own radiation. That's in addition to the other damage that radiation can cause. For most people, most of the time, it isn't an issue. If the old BYU reactor was properly run and cleaned up, it shouldn't be an issue. I've never heard of anyone refusing to play squash at the University of Chicago.
So, my real question - does irradiating food to sterilize it make the food itself radioactive, or increase its radioactivity? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
