i read somewhere that if you can physically see it, you're within lethal exposure range, cameras never lasted long to take more than a few pics and had to be disposed of due to the saturation. even if he took the pic and ran, he'd still have received lethal doses
So I decided to research a bit into how radioactive it is today and I stumbled across this gem that made me laugh
"The mass is quite dense, unyielding to a drill, but able to be damaged by a Kalashnikov rifle."
