straight away , they don't glow in the dark, they receive radiation not emit it
2 :
As soon as the machine is shut off. I don't know how some people get these thoughts in their heads. Radiation doesn't leak out. If you were in the sun, the uv rays wouldn't leak out and contaminate someone you touched. Now, that sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

I have never heard of radiation being measured in milliliters before! 5ml is about a teaspoonful! Radiation therapy can be internal or external. External is more common. The patient is normally in isolation while the therapy is administered, a few seconds daily for several weeks for external or a few hours or even days for internal. Once the treatment is complete there is no residual radiation from either of these. There is also radiation seeding, most commonly used for prostate or thyroid cancers, there is residual, low grade radiation with this treatment and the patient will be fully informed of any precautions needed.
