A breaker in the cottage in my parents' back yard tripped a few weeks ago and it wouldn't reset. When they finally tore into the wall, they found this lovely romex that had been chewed on by mice and somehow didn't burn the place down:  Note the two wires welded together.

So the breakers did there job. Osha win! "Somehow didn't burn down" when the safety backup worked.

Dunno about those early prototypes, but modern RTGs absorb all the energy released from decay and convert it into heat, so by design they don't emit any radiation whatsoever. And it's mostly alpha radiation to begin with, so if you have a functional skin layer you're fine. The only real danger is the case being ruptured and spilling whatever isotopes into the environment (radiation aside they're generally toxic just on the chemical level), but that's pretty unlikely in a lab environment as shown.

AnnoyBot posted:A breaker in the cottage in my parents' back yard tripped a few weeks ago and it wouldn't reset. The new AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) breakers should prevent that from happening. If the wire shorts from phase to neutral, that might pull enough current to trip a regular breaker. If you have a series fault, where there's a break in the line that intermittently arcs across the same phase, that probably isn't enough current to trip the breaker but enough heat to potentially cause a fire. An AFCI will interrupt the circuit in both cases. The drawback is that the AFCI basically needs a little microprocessor to determine if an arc is occurring (where as with a ground fault circuit interrupter it's extremely easy to measure current in versus current out), so they're expensive and I've heard lots of people have problems with false-positive trips.

My parents recently remodeled their kitchen, and it has these. Aggrievating as gently caress when those things trip for no reason on a wall outlet, and some appliance on the other side of the room quits working and you have no idea which one is the culprit.

My work, my work, my work is on fire: We can't flip the breaker because the security guys put a lock on the panel. (Sorry for the lovely cellphone pic, but you can at least see that it is, in fact, glowing orange-hot behind the cover plate.)
