  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.

    Don’t swim in the water, I’ve heard you get severe and abrupt lead poisoning when trying.
