Question

Which scientist’s notebooks are still too radioactive to handle?

Answer 1

Answer: Marie Curie

Marie Curie's notebooks, as well as all of her belongings, including her clothes, were contaminated with ionizing radiation. In fact, those of her husband also, because this couple of scientists discovered the radioactivity of several elements, helping the advance of science, but did not know about the consequences of dealing with these materials without adequate protection.

It should be noted that Curie's notes are stored in the basements of the National Library of France, stored in thick lead boxes and those who wish to access these documents must follow the appropriate protocol to treat radioactive material, wear appropriate clothing and sign a responsibility  agreement before allowing them to review the documents.
