There are around half a dozen or so homeless people sleeping in this particular station every night, way more now during winter. I'm worried about them. Not like they didn't have enough issues besides the walls they sleep next to being radioactive.

I think in Germamy the danger of radiation is overblown. It's really hard to get any radiation damage from low intensity sources.

Hell, even chernobyl is projected to cause at most 4k premature deaths over 50+ years.
