Interesting titbit about Q2. In the 60's when we were seconded to the radiation ward, we had to wear badges based round the bolometer. In those days patients actually had radiation isotopes inserted inside to target the cancer. We had to hand the badges in for testing at the end of every week. If the strip was radiation high we were removed from the ward for 2 weeks. If it was low, we stayed on the ward. When the radioactive isotope was removed, we wore Hamzat gear and lead aprons until the removal and the isotopes were stored in a lead box to be removed from the ward. We did a 3 month secondment to that ward. Not pleasant at all really.
