An accident in a nuclear laboratory resulted in deposition of a certain amount of radioactive material of half-life $18$ days inside the laboratory. Tests revealed that the radiation was $64$ times more than the permissible level required for safe operation of the laboratory. What is the minimum number of days after which the laboratory can be considered safe for use?
