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.

Killing sperm is not the problem. Killing Leydig and Sertoli cells is. Testicles are very fragile.
 
Beats enlisting if you're very desperate?

That's the sad thing, anyone tempted by the money probably has a family they can't feed.
 
I'd do it if I were in Japan (pay my airfare too?).

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.

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! :\

Actually, it's surviving sperm with damaged chromosomes spawning mutant offspring that most people are concerned about.

Or this, but I doubt that's what most people were thinking (kills your ability to produce sperm, eh?).

You failed to read. They may use you all day until you reach your dose or you may reach your dose in one short jump.

No way that I'd jump into this, not even for $500,000 daily. Remember Chernobyl? On one of the "cleanup teams", only 1 woman survived, she's now in her late 50's with serious health issues. They were not told the truth about the risks.

Prison labor is probably the best way to deal with this. Knock off a year of time per day worked (I mean a full, 12 hour workday). This would be very attractive to those who has long sentences. Plus an effective way to reduce the inmate population, while getting some real use out of them.

Uhh... then the taxpayers would have to pay for expensive medical care to keep many of them worked beyond safe exposure levels alive. FAIL. Just because tehy are in prison doesn't meant that they don't get medical care. And the hours worked directly relate to risk. The offer already can apply to a 12hr work day or a 1hr worday up to a certain dosage. Read it.

This is still safer than like...mining which kills far more people in a year than all of civilian nuclear power combined? Especially since they actually actively monitor and limit your dose.

I'd definitely be bringing my own dosimeter.

This still isn't Chernobyl, though.
 
i would do it. i am not scared of radiation. though, i would get transferred or fired because i would be over my 1 rem per quarter limit at work. i only have xx mRem accumulated dose up to this point.
