There are some errors/problems in the sources Randal listed on the image:
-left an http out on the beginning of the 2nd source
-source 3 and 4 are inl-oversight, not inl_oversight
-source 7 isn't available any more due to the restructure of their site, but it might have been fine when randal made it
-source 11 should be fact-sheets, not fzact-sheets
-source 12 is a 404 (and the double underscore seems a bit strange), and I can't find the original page
-the last source seems to be a dead domain

It's probably important to note that this was released shortly after, and due to, the Tohoku Earthquake and the beginning of the crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plant. 108.162.215.115 07:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Does anyone else have the problem where the previous link at the top leads to "comic -1," a nonexistent page, the next link leads to comic 1, the comic is number "#," and the article is titled "Radiation" instead of "(comic number): Radiation?" 108.162.219.138 14:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

There is no "comic number" because this was a blog post, not one of the numbered comics. 108.162.215.189 04:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I can't seem to scale the image properly. It remains pixelated.--Forrest (talk)15:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, i found a poster of this in my highschool science lab. Whiskey07 (talk) 10:44, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
