At least in that one they evacuated everyone instead of standing around!

A lot of managers are probably otherwise keeping jobs for saving lives, that wouldn't. Any particular reason that the pipe between the reactor and the main distillation column doesn't have an emergency stop valve of some kind?

A cracker is a monster of a unit because you are taking gas molecules and turning them into extra gas molecules which is a nightmare when it comes to pressure safety. To that end, a cracker reactor and it's column I think are treated as the same operational unit because the column has a lot more options to handle a pressure runaway than a stand alone reactor will have. To that end, the column shouldn't have had poo poo leaking into it when the system got idled. It seems they figured that and that's what the steam blanket is for. And also why you don't want to rubber stamp safety variances to update them.

It has massive air raid sirens that they test monthly but Ive never actually heard them go off when something happens. Added bonus its completely surrounded by residential areas

And also why you don't want to rubber stamp safety variances to update them. There was some other OSHA stuff, though. One day the vending machine had stopped cooling anything. I had bought the Coke from the machine before I knew that and now I had a problem. Then I remembered the flexible gas lines for taking samples of the lighter hydrocarbons for the lab to analyze. Solution: spray the Coke bottle with liquified hydrocarbons until cold. Any ignition sources in the process area are strictly banned so spraying flammable propane-butane mix around was not a problem. One other time the gas flare of the refinery had gone out. This surprised me since it was literally known as the "eternal flame". Normally the flare has a pilot light and every safety valve in the plant is routed to it, since you can't just vent those around the valve. Now since the flame was out, any abnormal situation would cause stuff to be ejected from the top of the flare tower without igniting. So, the older guys showed me how to light the flare. You go to a shack at the base of the flare tower and find the ignition pipe going to the top of the tower. Then you open oxygen and propane valves to put a explosive mixture to the pipe. There are no meters or anything, you just eyeball it. Then you hook up a hand-cranked generator in a wooden box (I would not have been surprised at all if this had been repurposed from a Gestapo interrogation room) to a car spark plug screwed to the ignition pipe and crank the generator like hell. If you did everything right, the pipe shoots a flame to the top of the tower and reignites the pilot flame. (They also told me that one of the employees there had been an olympic-level archer and they had previously ignited the flame with a flaming arrow, but suspect that was a tall tale...)

Those culvert pipes are designed to have heavy equipment driving over them, under a few feet of sand of course, but still.

Olothreutes posted:In non-lab settings you are pretty unlikely to need to worry about gamma detection. I mentioned the lab because I actually have the authority to throw someone out, not because that setting in particular is super relevant. We have a number of detectors so we wouldn't need a cell phone to do it. A patient having radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroid typically gets 20-50mCi and will likely not be kept in the hospital. Thyroid ablation patients for cancer will get 100-300mCi and should definitely be kept in the hospital. About 33mCi is the limit before hospitalization is required, which makes it the point where you get the equation being fudged so they can boot you. Or in a more heinous scenario the radiologist will only give a therapy up to 33mCi which could result in undertreatment because the hospital doesn't want to deal with your huge cost of staying a day. It's been a long time since I've given someone a therapeutic dose.

How to make a bad YouTube video 1) point the camera at your stupid ugly smug poo poo-eating face and stupidly explain like a mouth breather what your video is about. 2) post it to YouTube.

Asproigerosis posted:An old post, but I figured I could provide some crude OSHA insight into radionuclide therapy. The regulations regarding release of radioactive patients comes from the NRC. Patients can be released if the total exposure to another person would not be above 5mSv. This is calculated with a fancy equation with lookup tables and such. However a hospital is allowed to pencil in their own variables as long as they show their work, within reason. NRC would most likely not care if the physicist were to take liberties with dose estimations as long as they weren't insane. It really sucks to have to keep a patient in the hospital for a nuke therapy. Gotta have them in their own room with everything [EVERYTHING] wrapped in plastic, instruct the nurses who proceed to not listen and contaminate themselves, and monitor visitation. Then when they can finally leave you need to pack up all the poo poo that ever entered the room and store it in long term storage for 10 half lives, which can be years. Followed by doing wipes and surveys of the room. If you didn't take the everything in plastic seriously and you have contamination, enjoy having a room that can't be used until it decays or is decontaminated. I-131 is pretty much the only therapy people will ever encounter outside of crazy research stuff. It is excreted in pee, poop, saliva, and sweat. Also breastmilk. Breastfeeding is cancelled for the rest of the child if you are currently doing so. A few years ago my ex had to go to the hospitial and was injected with some kind of radioactive dye. I a a dork and have a small giger counter, and a few samples of uranium ore and it makes all kinds of happy clicks, pretty neat. When she got home I tested it out on her and holy poo poo! That stuff was hot! She was setting it to max level and it was beeping instead of clicking (its default oh poo poo over load mode) and this was from eight feet away on the other side of a cinder block wall! Needless to say I slept on the couch She was not active after a day or so.

I've gotten a therapeutic dose the same year I was receiving a vocational dose, and I swear it would have been easier to walk out of Fuel Handling with a backpack full of uranium oxide pellets than to find someone in the entire country of Sweden who could whole-heartedly say how the two doses affected each other.
