It's a job that sounds too good to be true -- thousands of dollars for up to an hour of work that often requires little training.

Glad the heroes working to mitigate the disaster are being well compensated, hope that their short exposure time and radiation suits can keep them from permanent damage, although only time will tell.

I'd absolutely do it if they're not talking more than 100 mSv, which the article suggests. I probably wouldn't mind up to 250 mSv.

 

[God Mode]

I'd do it for 4k.

 

[rasczak]

where do i sign up?

 

[spidey07]

Radioactivity, I jump in it.

 

[Kroze]

Lol. I hope this is a joke because $5k is pretty cheap for a lifetime of sickness and probably unable to father a child.

Yeah, that's not the kind of doses they're talking about.

 

[Kroze]

Yeah, that's not the kind of doses they're talking about.

If you want to have kids look something like X-Men (w/o the magical powers), I'd say go for this job :biggrin:

Think of all the money I'll save not having to turn the lights on in the room I'm in.

omg, I came into this thread to post this exact thing :biggrin:

I got 5 already. Sounds like the perfect alternative to a vasectomy!

 

[Spikesoldier]

im surprised why they dont ask for volunteers first.

id give a message to the whole world: depressed? worthless? thinking of suicide? give meaning to your life by volunteering your final days at fukushima i.

No Pain... No Pain...

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Man, give me a couple of lead jackets so I can cover myself in head to toe in lead, a gas mask, and I might do it.

Actually, if they gave me THIS I would do it, no questions.





I've wondered. With those new exoskeletons, what is stopping them from making one of those specifically for radiation purposes. Like taking one, covering it from head to toe with lead. Power would be less of an issue because you could easily have a cable that runs to an independent generator.

Yes - It's April.

No Pain... No Pain...

Glad somebody got it!:biggrin:

 

[The Boston Dangler]

if it were in america, i'd strongly consider it.

 

[techs]

Be careful. I wouldn't want to lose you. Who else would I win all my arguments with then?

 

[rcpratt]

If I ever get cancer from radiation exposure, I will admit defeat. :ninja:

 

[gevorg]

What a waste, just offer this to prisoners for reduced sentence... not that they'll be alive by the then. Win-win!

 

[techs]

Now THIS is a job for outsourcing.

One of the memories I carry, from going through Navy Nuclear Power School 30 years ago, is the day we were taught about the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body, and what short term large doses could do to us. In a nutshell:

100 rem, you're probably going to experience some nausea, but you'll survive.
500 rem, you're going to be very sick, 50% of the people will likely die from it.
1000 rem, make sure your will is written, and make your peace with God. 100% fatality rate.

They asked if anyone had any questions, and (naturally) someone asked how much dose it took to kill human sperm? The answer? 1500 rem, short term exposure.

So you're not going to have to worry about making kids, if you're nuked your sperm to death. Because you're gonna die too! :\

I don't want radiation death, pass.
