I guess Melanine isn't the only thing on the menu anymore.

Now we have cheese-graters that melt the cheese for you!

Probably just a terrorist cell using the cheese grater to break up some yellow cake to make a dirty bomb...

nothing to see here...

“There is no such thing as an absolutely safe level of radioactive exposure.”

Yup. Stay out of Denver, Grand Central Station, and airplanes.

It slices! It dices! It even glows in the dark!

I’ve often joked that much of the Chinese junk we see in Walmart is likely made from radioactive slag salvaged from their secret melted-down reactor.

Now with this story.... hmmm....

[SlowBoat407]

Now we know how China has solved their nuclear waste disposal problem.

My high school physics teacher in 1974 had a piece of red Fiesta Ware that he used a geiger counter on. It made a lot of noise! Needless to say, that color had been discontinued years before.

A while back, there were several kilotons of rebar contaminated with Co60, as well as the iron legs on some cafe tables.

A cobalt irradiator from a Mexican hospital got scrapped and made into rebar, tables, and some other things.

I wish people would stop referring to how many chest x-rays you'd get and just give a dose! Maybe compare it to how many hours of commercial flight would be better.

Articles like this are why people come to me looking to buy a Geiger counter, there is a pretty hot second hand market every time some news story scares people.

[Heather] Obviously, no one’s going to grate cheese for 100 hours straight – but think about this: If the grater is in your kitchen drawer…and you’re standing near that drawer – the gamma rays can pass through it – which means you can absorb the radiation.

And your basic kitchen drawer is right at gonad level. No more Ecko or anything Chinese (okay, except Dim Sum) and my house!

Great quality control they got over there!

Bureaucratic hot potato. We wouldn’t want to piss off the ones we are indebted to.

“There is no such thing as an absolutely safe level of radioactive exposure.”

BS. Many physicians believe very low levels of radiation are actually beneficial, much in the same way that small amounts of sunlight are beneficial. Hormesis effect.

since the chinese use factories to produce multiple products (bicycles, refrigerators, and migs all in the same factory).. maybe that factory is also producing nuclear components

a better question would be, what else would a wire like that be used for? what weapon system could use it?

[Eighth Square]

“If it came in today, it wouldn’t make it passed the borders”

You have to be kidding!!!!

Lets...see..multiply ONE cheese grater by a shipping container full of how many thousand of these things? And China has just figured out how big a bomb they can put in a container and have it wind up in a port without detection.

Cuttin’ the Cheese can make you glow in the dark!
