Radioactive batteries everywhere. What could possibly go wrong?

Contact exposure doesn’t need much to do a lot of damage.

Space is a already full of radiation and people up there are necessarily in self contained environments.

Or they are adapted to tolerate high levels of radiation...

I need one of those for my flashlight. Batteries always dead when I really need it.

Either the Chinese are now decades ahead of everyone or there’s a massive amount of propaganda, mostly regarding science and tech, coming out if there.

I’ll go with propaganda.

Buut, butt? It is nuklar!!!That is evil.

Liberals will never allow.

Yeah, yeah, I know that many smoke detectors use nuclear material. So what? That is being reasonable. And, name me five instances in last five years wherein liberals have been reasonable.

I asked my son how China produces so many great students/engineers/etc.
He explained it is because of simple math(1.4 billion to choose from) and early testing. Apparently, all Chinese children are IQ tested at a young age. The high IQ ones are then sent to special schools.
These special students get a much better education than the average child.

The best of the best are then sent to US and UK universities where the state pays for their tuition. So, when they do graduate from MIT or Harvard they really do owe a huge debt to the CCP homeland. So, they are all potential spies.

FYI, my son went to UNH for Biotechnology. He applied to several colleges for a PHD program including MIT/Harvard.
When he visited the lab at Harvard the entire lab was Chinese students. The professor was also Chinese.
If he was accepted he would have been the only white male in the program. He was not accepted. He was accepted at GA Tech but decided to go into industry instead.
He is with his second Big Pharma corp out of college. The current one is paying for him to get a Masters at UMass in Engineering Management. He would still be working on his PHD at GA Tech(6 years a slave) if he had chosen that path.

China spent the last fifty years having America train their scientists. China hs also spent at least the last fifty years stealing American science and technology. How long till these wonder batteries start exploding or self immolating like their EV’s ?

I recently came across an old flashlight in a toolbox I hadn’t opened in years. I switched it on and it still had some juice in it. It had two Racovac AA batteries in it.

Bingo! Thanks for catching my oversight.

Yes, we have done plenty of training, just in the wrong area of expertise.
