Marie Curie invented the word “radioactivity.” Literally.
She and her husband Pierre revolutionized our understanding of the phenomenon.
So, it’s only right that today,
her lab has been turned into a museum in Paris called the Musée Curie.
But in the process of making those discoveries,
the Curies and everything around them were exposed to a massive amount of radiation.
The couple were buried in lead caskets to contain the radiation.
And their furniture was similarly contaminated.
Which kind of makes you wonder: How safe is it to visit that museum today?
After all, a lot of Marie Curie’s stuff is still there,
and some of it definitely remains radioactive.
A recent BBC story on the subject inspired us to look into that question ourselves.
Here’s the safety report on the birthplace of radiology.
[♪ INTRO]
For many years, the Curies studied radioactive materials in a run-down shed without the
protective gear we would use today to handle elements like uranium, polonium, and radium.
Instead, they used… their bare hands.
Then, at night, they would literally watch the elements glow.
Marie Curie wrote that they looked like “faint, fairy lights.”
Simply put, they were saturated in radiation.
So if you visit Marie Curie’s lab today, you might be a little on edge.
But the dangers associated with radioactivity
aren’t as straightforward as radioactivity-equals-deadly.
Let me explain.
Radioactivity is everywhere.
