My wife left me because my glowing anus would keep her awake :P I had Atomic Piles once. My wife left me because my glowing anus would keep her awake

What about that "used air"? What makes it used? Radiation? How could this article possible fail to mention radiation exposure at all? What about that “used air”? What makes it used? Radiation?

The experimental atomic pile is located at Harwell, Britain’s atomic-research station. About 180,-000 cubic feet of air per minute are used in cooling the pile, and the engineers decided this hot air could be put to work heating near-by buildings. Now the high-temperature air is passed through heat exchangers which transmit the heat to water. The heat is transferred to a secondary circuit which passes through conventional radiators in the buildings.
