Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.98,0:06:44.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what was crucial was to control\Nthe amount of time of radiation exposure.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.78,0:07:33.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we looked into how winds\Nwould impact our operations.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:55.50,0:07:57.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we worried\Nthat by the time we arrived,
