He seems rather normal to me, and quite bright. He even has a kid. She's 
normal (well-- normal for a 3 year old) and doesn't seem to have any 
extra limbs or digits ;) and from what he says, she's pretty smart, too. 
I hazard she may be a bit smarter than my son in some areas.

Besides, a few stray neutrons never hurt anyone.... right? ;)

Oh, yeah, and there's that big thick plate of leaded glass between him 
and the reactor that should help.
