(CNSNews.com) – Following an investigation by its inspector general, the Department of Energy has issued a new rule advising its workers to refrain from putting highly enriched uranium in their pockets.
“After interviewing chemical operators and reviewing revised Y-12 procedures, we confirmed that chemical operators are no longer allowed to place samples in their pockets and must check their pockets before removing their coveralls,” said a report issued by the DOE Office of Inspector General.
The report, released in September, described a safety violation that occured last year at the DOE’s Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn. MORE

How about Plutonium, is that OK?

Plutonium is good on scrambled eggs.
Was that wrong? Because if anyone had told me that was wrong, I certainly wouldn’t have done it.

I hear Ms. Curie received a glowing report.
Hey fella, is that a uranium rod in your pocket or are you just excited to see me.
Actually they are too stupid to reproduce, so MAKE THEM keep the samples close to their genitals.
I always put it under my hat.

They were also issued instructions on the safe use of a match to find a gas leak.
Geez, it’s good to learn I wasn’t the only one who thought of the famous or infamous Mae West quote when I read the topic title.
Everyone knows Noballium is the only pocket ready radioactive metal
Van Halium is the lightest of the heavy metals
Twisted Sistrium has the shortest half life
Alpha emitter.
Won’t penetrate paper.
Once it starts moving down the chain, you get to gamma emitters.
Don’t put it in your mouth, either …
