I used to work with a bunch of guys that did NDT. They'd drive around in those Acuren vans and x-ray pipes. One of them said the only thing he noticed while working around the x-ray sources is that his fingernails grew super fast.

I wonder how long this guy's fingernails are. Or if he can have kids.
