'Radioactive' is not necessarily something to be afraid of. Radioactive 'markers' are used in medical work all the time. You are not being exposed to weapons-grade Uranium, lol, promise. The markers are at a level and type of radioactivity that is safe for use on living human subjects.

But if you DO turn into Aquaman, that's awesome. I think at the very least, the University would give you free tuition, and maybe you could become a superhero and fight evil, or, failing that, you could get a job as a carnie...
