Will sunglasses protect you from being hurt by nuclear radioactive wastewater released by Japan?
TOKYO, Aug 22 - Japan said on Tuesday it would start releasing more than 1 million tons of 'treated' (they said 'treated', but who knows if it has been scientifically and completely treated?) radioactive wastewater into the sea from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant on Aug 24, which is heavily criticised by China and other countries around the world.
The crucial plan, approved two years ago by the Japanese government to decommission the plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company, has also faced criticism from local fishing groups fearing reputational damage.
Apart from taking as less sea food as possible in the near future, will sunglasses protect you from being hurt by nuclear radioactive wastewater?
The answer is that we're afraid NOT, because sunglasses block unltraviolet, rather than radioelement, such as tritium (or hydrogen-3, which is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen with a half-life of about 12 years), and carbon-14 (or 14C, which is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons).
