Right, once you get irradiated you stay irradiated or radio active.
Yes everything holding the radiation becomes radioactive as US subs use water
to circulate heat to keep the radioactivity down from other parts in the circulation.
That is why the so called atomic plane was a Tesla craft in power plant and would
go his estimated 300 miles per second as he said in 1915 but was unable to carry
ordinary weapons, sorry Hitler, but the propulsion waves would explode weapons
as the Foo tried on the B17s.

I am not offended by your comments because I am not a Nazi ideologist, however the evidence does suggest they acquired nuclear weapons before the war ended.

Tesla was insane.
Nice.
I do not think you are right about radioactivity ever being safe.

Irradiation isn't forever; no radiation phenomenon is; that sodium-24 mentioned above decays with a half-life of 15 hours, so it is reduced in intensity 1000x after 6 days. All radioactive materials decay, the more intense ones the fastest. Water can't activate, but it can dissolve, and carry that sodium around.

That is not what I said. Hypothesizing on Tesla's amazing/over-hyped (take your pick) inventions can lead one into insanity, of the conspiracy kind.

...and, again, what did I say? Perhaps you think this is saying the same thing as "radioactivity is ever safe":

Well, what do you consider safe? Do you realize that on the average every acre-foot of soil contains about 2 kg of uranium? Is that safe? Well water from Finland was measured with 220 Bq of radiation per liter due to radon. Is that safe? If it is, then decay of any radioactive source will eventually make it less radioactive than your soil, than your well water. Is that unsafe?
We grow up in a radioactive world, we are evolved for it. If it were to disappear, we'd still have cancer, we'd still have mutations. They might be 10% or so less frequent. Almost certainly we wouldn't be here, in the form we are. Mutation is basic to biology; it's what sex is all about, it's what keeps us a step ahead of the parasites.

The Argentine Pulqui jet fighter was always intended to be a nuclear powered fighter jet,
Thus, incredible though it may seem, not only did Perón initially hire Richter and start funding his research merely on the strength of their personal connection and the single recommendation from the non-physicist Kurt Tank, but he also made his dramatic March 1951 announcement to the world of the discovery of controlled fusion based on nothing more than Richter’s say-so.
How did a country whose state and scientific institutions had been so weakened by Perón’s ferocious, decade-long assault end up building such a strong nuclear program? In part, this was the silver lining of the Richter affair: experiencing such a huge international embarrassment scared Argentina’s politicians straight. Even Perón himself gave the scientific professionals free rein in the CNEA starting in November 1952.100 This newly respectful management approach, born of the Richter fiasco,

Rob Ardnt has a web page on the topic but I don't have a link to it so you will have to Google.
The atomic P.1073b is said to have reached 2000 kilometres per hour and altitudes of about 58,000 feet implying engine thrust of 30.000lb. I suspect we are talking some kind of LINAC device rather that a nuclear reactor pile.
I have found a BIOS report (British Intelligence Objectives Sub-committee) on the topic:
However all American intelligence on Nazi atomic aircraft development remains classified. In particular the Atomic engine of the Messerschmitt P.1073b appears to have been transferred to a superior airframe in the Lippisch P.13b which it is alleged in some surviving German archives reached Mach 1.6 sometime from October 1944.

There is so much overblown exaggerated disinfo on the Nazis it isn't funny. They had this they had that. Look at what they actually used during the war. The Me 262 and Me 163 were advanced designs and their V1 and V2 rockets were ahead of their time as was the Type XXI sub but the Allies were way ahead in nuclear weapons technology. A Nazi atomic plane with Mach 1+ performance is laughable and pure fantasy. lol.

Not nit-picking, just curious.. Why do you allude to Tesla in every single technology post?
JimTSpock
Sounds like a captured Nazi pulling the leg and making stuff up.
From the limited information Josef Ernst gave of the atomic power plant and power vs. the max. speed and ceiling do not line up at all. Basically he is claiming an engine of 24 inches long and with a 4 inch diameter that can produce 2,000 hp (?) which would enable the wooden P.1073B to attain 1,240 mph at a height of up to 59,055 ft!!!
Like almost all late war or early postwar Intel, either the Intel guys made some serious typos or Ernst did not know what he was talking about.
When Convair tested the XB-36H “Crusader” for a nuclear a/c concept the reactors alone weighed 35,000 lbs and had to have thick protective shielding for the crew.
