So are bananas.

And Spuds!

Especially spuds on a Pizza!!!

Humans are radioactive.

Rubbish!

Every smoke detector has radioactive material (Americium-241).

Think of all the nuclear stuff waiting to kill you!

Reminds me of this story -the radioactive boy scout

No idea if it is true, but who cares - it is a great story.

Nope.

The Manchester University Research Reactor was in Risley(Warrington). Now decommissioned.

So your info is incorrect and Manchester is not only a Nuclear Free City but was the first city to declare itself as such in 1980.

I stand corrected - said the man in the orthopaedic shoes...

I'll take it up with my mate who told me who will say 'I never said that'...

[Churchill]

How could you tell......was it still glowing? Can't imagine they'd have been keen on marking it up as such.

Erm, there was a sign displaying the standard radiation warning and a notice saying that the entrance was alarmed.

Taking this information and doing some research on t'internet revealed that the outlet from the Winfrith site passes underneath the Lulworth Castle Estate and that there were in fact two points of interest on the estate. There is a Nuclear Monitoring station and an access ladder down to the outlet tunnel.

At one time the daftest place used to be Derby. I drove past the Labour council's nuclear free zone sign to visit RR's research reactor about half a mile inside it.

[Peoplesoft bloke]

This poll is rubbish. I wouldn't mind being close to a reactor in a this country (in fact I am reasonably close to a research one), but I wouldn't want to be close to one in (amongst other places) Ukraine, USA or anywhere where the seismic risk are high.

[Mich the Tester]

Yeah, Ironing, innit?

Well, I just find it ludicrous that a city council can be so pompous as to declare itself 'nuclear free' when radioactive material is used for such noble purposes as treating illness and injury, and when they can't possibly know whether their electricity is coming from nuclear power stations. Unless of course there are special Mancunian electrons that sing Morrissey songs as they bump into each other along the cables.

42 miles from one although the prevailing winds rarely come in my direction.

I don't think you're suitably equipped to join this discussion.

So what happens if you bust your leg in Manchester? Do they have to send you somewhere else for an x-ray?

Great exaple of Stalinist democracy; force people to vote Yes by giving them the alternative option of the gulag.
