As atomic number goes up, the ratio of AN/AW goes down for the most stable isotope, meaning that as you get into the higher AN's, you will find that the more common and stable isotopes of elements are radioactive.Which means that higher AN elements are more likely to have naturally occrring radioisotopes. Which is what I said.I also said that alpha won't penetrate the skin. Beta -- don't feel so safe. It's also low penetrating, but no so much as alpha. When I was doing reactor training, we got shown the infamous "butt book", which had pictures of a graft on a man who made the mistake of putting a beta source in his back pocket. It was pretty gory.So next time you are out shooting pidgeons, consider the possibility that:- Said pidgeon is keeping things simple for a general audience, or,- Said pidgeon is referring to something that will be in a class you haven't hit yet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
