@sfnative , I had to have a nuclear medicine test when I was having gall bladder problems and I noticed the tech didn't even have a dosimeter (I had worked at a nuclear defense plant for many years) and he said 'Oh yeah, I forgot it today".  I almost fell off the table.

I am also reading this book . It is so interesting and yet scary . Just to think their lives meant nothing to the corporation they worked for scaresme . Yes it is about corporate greed , Those brave girls who endured the fatal illnesses and yet fought for their rights . Just think of all the pilots who were exposed to  radium painted dials in the plnes so they could see them in the dark flying at night. .The ships at war and on the ocean depended on radium painted directional dials and monitors lit up by radium paint . I am sure that at flea markets  you can still find old watches the light up florescent green. Do you remember those? We did not know how dangerous that was then .
