Oh, someone's been spanked by a Fluffy Bunny.

Let's see...how many posts will it take for a Moderator to lock THIS thread now.   Hmm...they're only two left...get your posts in now.  My vote is 5 more after mine.

(On a serious note, you'd have to have been reading these Forums here for about 5 years to understand something that you're misquoting.  My vote is that you're a "deleted member returnee" with an ax to grind).

Go get 'em Fluffy!

Co58

Looks like you have had a case of decay, down two neutrons. 

Witty, smart@$$ remarks, and general snipes are also part of being a nuke.  Comes with the nature of our business and personnel.  However, there are some people that take it a little far.  While they may not add serious input, they do help maintain a little levity in the forum.  Afterall, who doesn't like a good ribbing every now and then, especially when you get to zing someone back.

I agree!   Hence, I've added a few "if you can't beat them, join them" comments recently.   However, what we're seeing is people who don't like to play their own game....especially after they play it to a newcomer here who doesn't understand what you and I are talking about...perhaps both having spent a good amount of time underwater where "this" is about your only form of entertainment.

Behold though...at the end of recent threads we have "Mr. Rennhack...he's picking on me" after that person just finished kicking a high school kid in the groin.

All good.   Today, we have a rapid bunny running amock.   Just another day. [coffee]

One small problem, I didn't do anytime underwater, but even us "targets" know a good jab when we hear one.  There is nothing like being able to match wits with your fellow coworkers in order to see who has the sharper wit. 

So will you be Co29 in 5.27 years?

GCE on the concept of half-life :P :P

Forgive me, It as been a long time since I dealt with decay of atoms.  These days I am just trying to make sure that welders are welding within their qualifications.  [dunce] [sos] :foot:

No worries...that's more difficult than navigating a periodic table anyway.

Co58 has a half-life of 70 days.  Co60 (we all know)...5.3 years. 

So, if you analyze a sample of something and it has Co58, that isotope was "made" in the last 300 days (5 1/2 lives) or so.   

This concept makes for an interesting discussion when someone (not knowing this concept) tries to convince you (any Rad Engineer out there) that this contamination residue has been there for over a year (read: before I was in this job).

You rad engineers and health physicists out there have ALL the cool toys.   [2cents]

Welding is simple, just sticking metal together.  The cool stuff is the way they produce clad materials.  1 Plate of Carbon steel + 1 plate of Stainless steel + high power explosive powder= Stainless Steel clad carbon steel.  The History Channel had a special on welding.  Neat stuff. 

Welder qualifications are pretty simple to figure out.  Oh crud.... [OT]

Easy...until someone with NDT quals passes through with some film and a Co-60 source.  ;)

Although with cladding...probably UT?

Not at all off-topic.  Good information for future MMs (welders, ELTs).   [coffee]
