I love how those products always require that the user be incapable of using a regular item.
"Blankets are hard! I wish I had one with armholes in!"
"Why, cutting vegetables with this knife is a nightmare! I've already killed my brother, I wish I had some kind of ridiculously complex device to slice my vegetables for me!"
"I'm physically incapable of drinking coffee without spilling it all over myself like some kind of amazing moron! If only there were a giant man-bib I could wear, then the ladies would love me!"

If plant workers were to remain on the nuclear plant for 1 year, they would receive 8 times the lowest 1 year dose linked to cancer, 2 times the dose required to produce moderate radiation sickness, but not even the full dose required to produce severe radiation sickness.
Within the 30 km zone (where people who are not nuclear plant workers still are) the dosage is 95 times less than that. The dose someone spending all their time outside in that area would receive is about 3 times the normal yearly background radiation dose (although this is still well over legal limits), and it's still less than 10% of the yearly dose directly linked to cancer. At those dosages, simply being indoors in a reasonably airtight house drastically reduces radiation exposure.

Okay, the demoman vid is cool, but it's not the most amazing thing like you guys keep saying. So what's the deal, what am I missing? Is is a riff of some other great scene? Yes yes, it's really really cool, but it's not AMAZING.
