"... the guest bedroom of the home (the least radioactive room, as it should be)..."

I think that's my new favorite quote from a scientist.

I do like his writing style.

"Now that we can sleep easily on the nuclear holocaust issue, I’ll add a few more observations about this plutonium."

I don't entirely get it. What is "it" here? The room where you do gamma ray spectroscopy, which should have the least ambient noise (radioactivity), or the bedroom, in which case the radioactivity is probably metaphorical? Or it's intended to be a double entendre?
