Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/[email protected] , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.
The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Still, that close and without full face coverage. I certainly wouldn't want to be there.
Do you think that the suit he's wearing somehow protects against the gamma radiation and neutrons screaming through his body? It's just to keep from tracking dust / tiny radioactive particles.
Yes, I did think that.
Isn't there a suit that can protect from radioactivity? Whats the point of the suit if the user gets fucked either way?
No, there's nothing human+portable that will provide enough protection for it to be worthwhile:

Neutrons require similar shielding.
It's possible to block alpha emissions with skin/paper and beta with a sheet of foil, gamma and neutron are scary
Definitely agreed. The article said he just took a quick reading while the picture was taken. Apparently no long term effects would happen from the little exposure, but I'm not sure their reference for that.
Either way, the further away to it from me, the better.
