[time-nuts] How dangerous if a Rb lamp broken?

[J. Forster]

Public perceptions of risk change with time.

In WWII, Radium dial watches, aircraft instruments, dial and switch
markings, were ubiquitous. But so were explosives, bombs, bayonettes, and
a bunch of other things. So people didn't have the luxury of concerns over
minor things.

Now that is not so.
