I think the only unethical plutonium was The Demon Core.

There was the time right after WWII where the US government fed people plutonium and told them it was experimental medicine because they wanted to see what its health effects were (invariably fatal).

I've started stuffing all my plutonium into my mattress. It keeps me warm at night, and I save on lighting, too!

True, I didn't know about that.

Best part, all bedbugs have gone! No rats either!

Cockroaches are asking me for rent though, so that's weird!

Actually, the working conditions in a lot of cold-war military reactor facilities were pretty shitty. Corporate cost-cutting and high-level classification don't make a happy fun cancer-free experience for the workers.

But what about all the traditional party games, like Spot The Lymphoma?

One day, you'll be able to go entirely without lighting! _{(and food, and water, and a house, and air...)}

Hmm. Wonder if putting uranium in a water bed would provide sufficient heat while keeping the worst of the radiation from giving you cancer?

[miauw62]

Probably not, unless the water bed is made from 10 cm of lead.

[Sergarr]

Or if the water bed is 10-20 meters tall.

[Sirus]

Darn. I was hoping to cut down on the power bill a little

[Descan]

You MIGHT be able to Martian Botanist it and stick a shielded plutonium/uranium core in there. o-o

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Pretty sure you'd run into a constantly expanding scenario, where the level of water and/or lead is never enough to contain a core powerful enough to heat that volume of water.

To be fair said Martian Botanist live in a freezing hell desert.

Spoiler: Perhaps not so much? (click to show/hide)
