Varian Linear AcceleratorFollowing a brush with this impressive linear accelerator, I have been assured that I am now as radioactive as the cockpit of the Enola Gay.
Cockpit of the Enola GayThe Enola Gay was the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.
Oddly enough I have actually been in the cockpit of the Enola Gay which is in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.
For the avoidance of doubt, when I visited the cockpit in the Smithsonian there was a prominently displayed notice reassuring visitors that the cockpit was NOT radioactive.
