One more thing: I have no idea what to make of this, but it seems worth linking just the same.
**** h/t Glenn *Not that Daily Kos. A different one. In my head.
Hey, why did my vacation pictures come out foggy. . . ?
Glenn radiation fogs old technology film, not digital.
Hey, I still use film sometimes!
“radiation fogs old technology film, not digital.”
Rubbish. Unless your “digital” uses vacuum tubes rather than charge-coupled devices.
I’m right across the street from the Y-12 facility. Should I be afraid?
You mean you have not heard about the hot frogs in the cooling pools?
I worked at Y-12 and X-10 from March 1993 to July 1995. Yhe security at Y-12 was very tight, especially after the Oklahoma City bombing.
Oh, yeah, radiation does affect digital. There are some areas in the X-10 olant that have video cameras and they have to be replace often because the radiation burns them out. But it doesn’t happen right away, unless the radiation is very high.
