Visited the Grand Canyon since 2000? You'll have great photos – and maybe a teensy bit of unwanted radiation

Re: Amazingly reasonable reporting here

I once camped at a small creek down in the Canyon that flows from rock layers up near the rim where there's an old U mine. It's said the water is a tiny bit radioactive, but I didn't see my piss glow in the dark so I guess it's pretty minor. I must have gotten a larger dose than visitors to that building, yet this geiger counter nut wants to create a panic anyway.

What little exposure happened can't be undone, so all he could accomplish is to scare ignorant people and maybe harm the careers of a few workers and officials at the park. Wonderful fellow.
