Another very good facts. Thanks a lot. This is very educating.

This is all really interesting.

Test the snow with a Geiger counter a post please!

Hey Steve, just had an idea given more time you can also show that the level of radiation is affected by the distance from the source. So make a decay graph at a few different distances and try to extract the inverse square law.... Beard

If the remaining 7% is still very hot, why not use that to power smaller generators?

Can anyone give me an idea for the volunteer demonstration

So, you've witnessed the dwindling radioactive decay of someing with a short half life. Have you ever witnessed any elements losing weight? Or is that kind of thing just theoretical?

"A hydrogen explosion has nothing to do with radiation" - Wrong when the explosion is in a reactor building and the building and containment is damaged then radiation leaks out. Great demo untill you said that.
