> equivalent in size to just two Walmart gas grill propane tanks

Is this a real measurement in tank sizes? Why not just say two 20lb tanks? What if I bought my tank from Home Depot? Are they a different size? Do they think using Walmart makes it more relatable?

That's only 0.393% the size of a football field!

Seriously though, isn't a lump of radioactive material that size actually huge?


Just because the container is that size does not mean the fuel inside is the same size. I'd assume the majority of the container is shielding and other non-fuel material for structure.
