Responses:

so... kids have been exposed to radiation since WWII at that school? - Andie Oct 19, 06:36 10
- It's where he lived, yes. The school isn't that old but likely since it opened. - spamlet Oct 19, 06:54 4
  - And they...built a school next to that creek? -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 07:03 2
    - It was built in 1972 so before the issues were "known" -- nm - spamlet Oct 19, 07:06 1
      - My "that old" meant WWII, not like it was new. -- nm - spamlet Oct 19, 07:08

- Probably only since whenever it flooded post-WWII. Also I can’t find any real details on specifically what or the amount of contamination is. - mafic Oct 19, 06:54 4
  - See my response. It's leftover radioactive waste that was left on basically a parking lot and washed into the creek in the 40s and 50s. - spamlet Oct 19, 06:56
  - the kids are glowing, mafic - decline Oct 19, 06:56 1
    - ok, but like a pregnant lady, or like a rave? -- nm - mafic Oct 19, 06:57
  - yeah, it was very light on specifics. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 06:55
