I know that you not supposed to venture conjecture on any subject which is an established protocol.
However, I have also be taught, that when you have a suspicion about something, to post this concern, rather than to hide it.
Hiding valid concerns makes bigger problems later on.
On the spacewalk to remove a battery by Astronauts Dave Wolf and Criss Cassidy, I noted about mid way point when Wolf was trying to un-do the it seems overtorqued bolts that there was a loss of composure by Wolf and then a demand to go to another size ratchet.
This demand in his voice, seemed to unsettle the capcom personnel.
All of a sudden I got radiation wave, as a valid concern that kind of popped into my head.
This was an impression that I had. My impression might not be either accurate or valid as a concern, however it is better to be ridiculed, than reprimanded later on.
Struck me as funny, this is all I’m saying.

What struck you as funny?
People get frustrated. It's normal. And also, NASA would be right to be unsettled because they need cool heads in space.
However, what do you mean that you "got radiation wave"?

He must be talking about his nightly uranium baths.
