A guy who used to work at a nuclear reactor was telling me how water was very effective at absorbing radiation, so radioactive waste can be kept at the bottom of a deep pool and the level of radiation at the surface will be completely safe.
I asked him “Does that mean I could swim in one of those pools?”
He said “No, you would be killed.”

I swear I heard this myself before the xkcd strip was published. Maybe it’s a common joke that nuclear engineering guys tell.
