Re: I live in the northern US
"I would not do it if I was you. Some of the experiments they ran on it used radioactive isotopes."
Hiroshima's bomb used about 400kg of uranium. 0.7g was converted into energy, the rest vaporised and blew away on the breeze (not to mention all that crud that ended up downwind of the USA atmospheric tests that also vastly outmasses whatever would be on that space station.)
There are radioactive isotopes on the breeze all the time, especially so if you're downwind of a coal-fired power station and less so downwind of nuclear ones.
