Amusing related fact of the day, I heard the french nuclear authority transports some of the radioactive uranium in retail pressure cookers. Apparently it's good enough the stop those radiations, they need the pressure release valve, and is much cheaper than to build something custom with very little benefits.
- blurrypepe 5y agoWow that's interesting! Do you happen to have a source for that? I'd like to read more about this...
- cm2187 5y agoNo, something someone working there told me [edit] actually https://www.rt.com/news/pressure-cooker-plutonium-france-628/ https://www.rt.com/news/pressure-cooker-plutonium-france-628...

- adrianN 5y agoWhich brand of pressure cooker though? I'm in the market for a new one. If it's good enough for uranium it's probably good enough for my beans.
