Feel good thought of the day...
Every mushroom cloud has a Ag-113 lining.
Unfortunately, with a half-life of only 5.37 hours, that silver lining decays relatively quickly to Cd-113. With a half-life of 9.3 million billion years, cadmium-113 is therefore persistent and, if ingested, can induce cancer in the liver and kidneys from the beta particles emitted during radioactive decay.
There is no escape from cadmium-113.
