Here�s the report from Lia, Georgia. 3 guys found a disused Soviet-era ⁹⁰Strontium battery, and slept next to it for a few hours before they woke up vomiting, and with severe burns.

1. This is my personal favorite radiological incident, and it's crowd pleaser at parties.
2. They didn't just sleep near it; they slept near it for warmth.
3. Alcohol was involved.

Is that seriously a ground wire going into a bag of dirt?

The ground wire is green-yellow, so it's probably from a country where 'electrical ground' and 'soil' are the same word in the local language.

Took a couple pictures from one of my projects on Tuesday. This is looking out the window at a brand new 18 floor building next door. I put the red circle so you know where to look.

This guy crawled over the guardrail on the roof so he could work on the exterior face of the 18th floor. He appeared to be tied off...maybe? Hopefully to an actual anchor point and not just whatever his pelican hook fit around. There are people from another GC doing site work in the space between that building and the one I'm in, in other words, people are underneath him at ground level. The fact that he took his hardhat off so it didn't fall makes me think he probably doesn't have any tools tethered.

edit// Hopefully that works better. For whatever reason imgur doesn't work for me.

Get rid of your images.

I took a tour of Chernobyl a couple years ago. Our guide first showed us the actual robots they tried first.

She said all the electronics fried instantly from heat and radiation so then they used �biorobots�. My coworker and I looked at each other and then back at her and asked �humans?� She stared at us blankly for a few seconds, shrugged and then said �of course, what else was there to use�. Best guide ever.

Bonus shot of lunch in the Chernobyl ( technically in Pripyat ) cafeteria.

Lets share our Chernobyl lunches:

We never figured out if it was chicken or fish.

2017. I asked our guide what would happen if the 50s looking full body radiation detectors actually detected something - she said �big noise�.

Another OSHA moment - when we pulled up to the �Welcome to Chernobyl� sign there were a bunch of people in tyvek suits along with masks and personal Geiger counters around their neck posing for pictures. We, along with our guide, were in jeans and tshirts. I asked her if we should have brought any of that stuff and she answered �toys. They play with toys. Walk where I say�.

Chernobyl was cool but Duga-1 was amazing.

We were there during the "pause" in tourist activities, and none of us could see any proof that the full-body activity scanners were on, even though they had our guide go through it. The gate workers had older handheld scintillation counters that they used, but didn't seem to care all that much.

As for the OSHA: Most of my group was issued badge dosimeters for the trip from work, and we had electronic intensimeters to use to spot local variations. The badge dosimeters showed no measurable difference between the one reference badge and the Chernobyl badge, while the dosimeter never left the 1-10 �Sv/h range.

I can't find the post I'm refering to, but it brought to mind a question:

Here in the EU, utility trailers are all pretty similar because of EU-harmonization. Are the trailers in the United States that your average person would rent from, say, U-Haul all equipped with pretty much the same kind of US coupling?

How are those chains supposed to work? Are they intended to break away or activate an emergency brake?

It felt quite real.

Turns out it was the subway project next door.

I'm actually gonna err on "Okay that's a neat trick"...if only they had more actual coverage or if it was actually affixed to their head. The casing should do pretty well stopping the IR and UV light that damage your eyeballs.

So A+ for ingenuity
And a D for actual execution.

He's gonna get quite the finger tan.
