[time-nuts] How dangerous if a Rb lamp broken?

[Tom Miller]

I wonder if that would be possible? I bet the government paperwork would 
make the watches costs far out of reach for most people.

You're still here, but what about the young women who painted those watches 
who aren't? The problem was that they needed sharp points on the brushes to 
fill the tiny voids in the hands. So they twirled the brush tips between 
their lips. They could probably bring back radium dials today with no 
problem, because of automation.
