Start playing free

  1. Temperature, pressure, and volume
  2. Speed, mass, and charge
  3. Time, distance, and shielding ✔

Why: Limiting time near a source, increasing distance, and adding shielding all reduce dose.

Huh, didn't know that: Limiting time near a source, increasing distance, and adding shielding all reduce dose.

The dad joke
Distance makes the heart grow fonder and the dose grow smaller.
