I'm glowing, but not from the Radon. For the last 10 years before I retired, every refueling outage I would organize a bunch of managers into the "Humpers and Hookers" team. As soon as the plant would cool down my team would throw 100 pound lead blanket over our shoulder and carry them (Hump) to radioactive hot spots and hang them over the source (Hook) so workers coming in to do work could work with reduced dose. The guys who did the nozzel dams, (Jumpers) were the only ones who took more dose that us Humpers and Hookers. Maybe I shouldn't have told you all this ??? Nuc Power is safe . . . . I promise.
