60 some years ago when my first wife was a grad student in GeoCosmoChronoNuclear Chemistry (and I was in Biochemistry), I was her mule. I waited on the walkway above/around the reactor pool waiting for my wife’s irradiated sample to “cool down” enough to not set off the radiation alarm in the reactor building. As soon as the Health Physicist transferred the sample to a cast iron “pig” (outside of the pig, the sample WOULD have set off the alarm) I hightailed it across campus, up the hill to the W. T. Shrenk Hall (Chemistry Building), up to Dr. Manual’s Radiochemical Lab on the THIRD floor. (Puff puff) As soon as the sample’s radioactivity level dropped low enough (usually 0 minutes and 0 seconds), my wife would do her thing.
I am delighted to see this article and wish Narrie Loftus great skill and success in her career in the field.
