Hey, 3GHz 4-core processors only cost like $200. Why didn't we have those 
back in the original PC?

Put it this way. You have a chemical that will react and release enough 
energy to boil 10 gallons of water. If you spend 20 minutes reacting it to 
boil ten gallons of water, is that safer or more dangerous than releasing it 
all in three milliseconds?  Would you rather be standing next to an 
automobile that's idling or an automobile where the gas tank is exploding? 
It's the same amount of total energy.

The longer the half life, the less radiation is being emitted per pound of 
material. That just falls out of the definition of half life.
