        Your overestimating the lethality of radiation. The “Demon Core” guy lasted 9 days. The firefighters from Chernobyl lasted a month. The only criticality events that I can find with immediate fatalities also involve steam explosions.

        For those who know, steam is scarier than radiation or fire.

          I think you’re reading their comment too literally. I think it’s meant as a joke that the stick is nearing its “EOL”, not the person holding it, but they’re wilfully misinterpreting it.

            I don’t know what commenter meant, but it’s important to spread accurate information about radiation and nuclear tech.
