      Yes, I have to keep this in mind. I wear special monitors (it’s like a badge with a photographic film inside) that measures how much radioactivity I am exposed to, and we have monitors in each room that ring if the levels get too high. I also have to check myself and every room and piece of equipment I’ve worked with before and after I finish my work, to make sure I am not contaminating anything with radioactivity.
