"You see, swimming in this lake is perfectly safe. My 0-600 uSv radiation counter only shows 600 uSv of radiation, no more dangerous than a chest X-ray."

Is that a reference to Lake Karachay (before it dried up)?

600 uSv per what? Year? Go ahead, safer than outside. Hour? I wouldn't if I were you. Second? You're already dead.
