I was expecting a punchline involving Twilight having set her Geiger counter to the wrong scale, and spazzing out over what amounted to a Banana Equivalent Dose worth of normal background radiation. I'm a bit disappointed, actually.
ETA: Not so much that you didn't take the "Banana Dose" route, but because you left it at "OH NOEZ! RAY-DE-AY-SHUN!!11eleventy-one" and Celly domed the Crystal Empire to placate Twilight, when you'd already established that, whatever the background level, it was harmless (per Celly's whole discourse on it being related to Harmony). It just fell flat, sorry
im radioactive... im radioactive.

The nuclear weapons used by humanity increased background radioactivity to noticeably elevated levels (they’re probably just above what a nuclear technician is allowed to be subjected to now, but were originally probably closer to being outright dangerous), but Celestia decided “I’m immortal, not my problem,” gave it a nice non‐dangerous sounding name — “harmony” — and left the populace otherwise uninformed of the risks in order to prevent an outcry. In order to continue the cover up she decided to prey upon Twilight’s stupidity and hence the dome to “fix” the problem.
5494747 Okay. Seems a bit heavy-hooved, to the point of a Tyrantlestia fic, but okay.

It’s more comedic sociopathy than anything.
5495555 Yeah, just didn't work for me - doesn't seem as well-executed as it could have been. I'll try to withdraw the downcheck, though, since it seems to be more of a question of personal taste. And yet, for some reason, I find myself toying with the idea of a ponified version of Dr. Strangelove for black comedy...
I lolled. Believe me, I lolled.
"Celestia had understood what the device was by the end of the first sentence, but there was no way she was going to stop Twilight in the midst of her panic attack. It was way too awesome! Instead, she quietly nodded along in contemplation to hide the joy she was feeling at the sight in front of her. They say being a ruler is hard, but all Celestia did was delegate problems to others – usually Twilight, – eat cake and work on maintaining the magic that kept the Crusaders from getting their cutie marks. That was the stuff worth living for! Moments like these? Just perks of the job."
Head cannon accepted!
Awesome
That story is pure comedy GOLD!
Keep going, that was flawless.
Cosmic background radiation is gamma rays emitted constantly by stars. Thanks to that, as well as some amount of radioactive material- very little, but still some- being present pretty much everywhere on earth, Geiger counters always click some. Besides, not all nuclear radiation is dangerous. Alpha radiation can be reduced to negligible levels by shielding consisting of tissue paper or human skin. Alpha is only dangerous if you ingest it, since internal organs aren't resistant to it like skin.
Wow, thanks for that... Uh..
