Move to Moab". > (the original says Windscale, UK. British Nuclear Fuels has a > plant there). We have similar versions locally. One says "I work at Hanford, I glow in the dark". Another was similar to "In case of power failure, I glow in the dark", and etc. The truth was I got a higher exposure flying above 30K feet than I did at work. When I was going to school at the U of Utah, there was a coal fired plant across from the mobile home park that I lived in. I probably had a higher dose from it than any occupational exposure. Some people worked in areas with substantial backgrounds but I could only visit some of these areas. None of the ones I had access to had really high background readings.
