You kinda hit the nail on the head with my intent behind listing these types of radiation as “S” tier, “dangerous” is often a matter of perspective. Ionizing radiation gets a very bad rap due to media fear-mongering and pop culture, which hurts the development of safe nuclear energy. My point was to highlight ALL types of radiation can be seen as incredibly dangerous, because it’s all about how you present it (often in a cherry-picked manner) to the viewer! Also you were right about how difficult this was to put together haha it was very challenging to take all this very interesting and complex research and make it accessible and interesting for all! Took a long time but it was worth it

Also, thank you for the clarification on neutron radiation! That is the type I studied the least back in my time at university, I taught myself mostly while researching this video!

Great to see a fellow engineer’s take on my video, cheers :)

"How do you know so much about radiation?" "A little bird told me."

23:09 "we did the math, if you ate 40,000 bananas in 10 minutes you would die from radioactive poisoning." "AH YES THE RADIATION would kill you."

I didn’t know my unshielded nuclear reactor was illegal

I'm surprised that you only get a couple thousand views per video, you're one of the few people that make reaction videos that actually expand on the topic.

to quote Badda who said he worked it out in highschool:
if you eat 40,000 bananas in 10 minutes, you'll die of radiation poisoning
that's a speed of about ~66.66 bananas PER SECOND

The radium girls incident is a good example of just how "everywhere" radiation can be when you're ignorant to it or how dangerous it is

"You are gonna stuff yourself to death and  be unable to breath  due to having so many bananas rammed down your throat" Is a brand new sentence I was not expecting to hear nor was expecting to make me cackle maniacally aloud.

He did Dr Mike dirty lol 😂

I work in industrial safety right now, and they often do Xrays on various objects on site for inspection purposes and man they dont take any chances with that stuff.

They call it out over the radio, cordon off the entire area and everything. And knowing a bit about the isotope they use to do that I'm very glad they do

Hey, here's a russian mnemonic for rainbow colors, just in case some of you would be interested:
"Каждый охотник желает знать где сидит фазан" (Kazdy ohotnik zhelayet znat' gde sidit fazan/Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits) which would stand for "Красный, оранжевый, жёлтый, зелёный, голубой, синий, фиолетовый", meanings of which you could guess:D (Krasny, oranzhevy, zhelty, zeleny, goluboy, siniy, fioletovy)

Radio is cool and all until a fighter turns on its radar in front of you, instantly boiling all the water in your body.

The only guy I’ve ever seen do react content correctly

Fun fact: As the "What If" blog by Randall Munroe found out, it would be possible, although extremely unlikely, to die from neutrino radiation. (It would require a spaceship at a precise distance from an exploding supernova though, and immediately afterwards, the other stuff from that supernova explosion would destroy your spaceship and body on a sub-atomic level.)

In Russian we have a mnemonic that goes "every huntsman wants to know where the pheasant sits", because in our translation it is "каждый охотник желает знать, где сидит фазан", analogous to roygbv
Каждый - К - Красный (red) 🟥
Охотник - О - Оранжевый (orange)  🟧
Желает - Ж - Желтый (yellow) 🟡
Знать - З - зелёный (green)  🟩
Где - Г - Голубой (light blue)  🔷
Сидит - С - Синий (blue) 🟦
Фазан - Ф - Фиолетовый (violet) 🟪

Yes, we have two blues

Some of the best explanations from both of you as to why radiation isn't just a scary death beam that will kill you if you get near anything that puts it off.

1:00 This is so sad, that people know about Fallout, but don't know about Metro-2033 and STALKER games.

BJ missed a skit that It's literally called "new-clear" because it was new and not visible to the human eye. All names should be at least vaguely literalistic, phonetic and sarcastically simplistic for complex fields or needless complex for mundane items that always get a number of alternative names anyway.

So I'm a construction guy and have never really needed this, but for Taxonomy I learned:

King
Phil
Came
Over
For
Good
Sex

For kingdom, phylum, class order, family, genus, species.

Also, I'm old.  Domains or Empires weren't a thing yet.

One thing I like about nuclear reactors is that it's one of the places where you can observe Cherenkov radiation. This phenomenon happens when charged particles travel faster than the speed of light in a medium like water, but not faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Which leads me to one of my most favorite hypothetical particle, the Tachyon. These hypothetical particles, if they exist, could release something akin to Cherenkov Radiation, leading to an intriguing runaway effect where they move faster as they lose energy.  
It was in fact, one of two research papers I did in physics class for a presentation, the other being antimatter,  pretty much flew over the heads of everyone in the class, But they probably just got bored because I went into a little bit too much detail about them at the time lol.  Physics teacher liked it though. 😋
