The BYU physics department had a nuclear reactor used for research. It supposedly wasn't large, just enough to power a light bulb. They took the waste from the reactor and stored it in a shed on the south side of campus.
Is this dangerous?
There isn't much waste. It is all stored in a single 50 gallon barrel. It has been rumored that there is so little waste that if someone were to go down by the shed with a Geiger counter, no trace of the radiation would be detected. So no worries, it won't hurt you. Just another BYU secret.
