    Dude, the Japanese nuclear waste water is barely radioactive. You receive a higher dose of radiation eating a fucking banana.

      Well, bananas are crazy radioactive…

      I had to get measured before and after training to work in nuclear in the military, and they ordered us not to eat bananas for a week before either test.

      Not that bananas are bad for you, it’s just exposure is tracked well below limits there’ll actually be negative side effects. So eating a couple bananas recently is enough to throw up red flags on the test

        Bananas aren’t even that radioactive. 0.1 microsieverts.

        If you really want to expose yourself to large amounts of radiation, start smoking. 160,000 microsieverts a year, contains radioactive polonium and lead.
