Am I right in thinking a lot of the hysteria around the perceived dangers of radiation being based around the whole Radium craze of yesteryear? Radium is pretty loving horrible because your body uses it as it would use calcium, so if you ingest it (which a lot of people did, via crazy radium quackery) it will seriously gently caress you up in the long term. A few scientific studies have come out measuring the health effects of the Liquidators in Chernobyl and they generally found that there was no huge incidence of cancer, and those that did may have been down to better screening techniques rather than the direct effect of the radiation.
