"Uranium ore..."
Linsey hesitated at the entrance to the mine for a while before finally stepping inside.
The protective equipment he wore was already quite good. Combined with the recovery and enhancement provided by his own Life Source Material, he should theoretically be able to withstand the damage caused by the ore's radiation.
But his understanding from his previous life of the word "nuclear," and everything it represented—
