Note also the Banana Equivalent Dose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose and the related observation by Edward Teller that due to the potassium-40 in people, sleeping with two others gave roughly the same dose rate as being on site at Three Mile Island (latter from memory)....
- delinka 10y agoI'm now interested in hearing about typical sleeping arrangements in Mr Teller's day.

- tomcam 10y agoThat's what Mr. Teller wanted you to believe
- hga 10y agoHeh, sorry about the late reply, but his experience in the short lived Hungarian Soviet Republic involved their "quartering troops" in homes/apartments like his, something that at his age and the context he found profoundly disturbing (this is from memory of the recently read and superb The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes). On the other hand, this was made as a semi-joke by him, so I'm sure it has nothing to do with his memories of events back in 1919.
