So don't eat any.

This is a contradiction. If it's got "high radioactivity," then it
can't have an "incredibly long half life."

It wears out, you see.

Hope This Helps!

Actually, you don't need to eat it. If you breath in merely a few
plutonium dust particles, you will die. This is nasty stuff.

Radioavtivity and half life depend on the isotope. Those present in
reactors are not the good kind for human health.
