Subcontractor Tells Fukushima Workers To Hide Radiation Exposure

First time accepted submitter fredprado writes "Apparently at least one subcontractor hired to clean up the Fukushima site has been urging their workers to put their radiation detectors lined under lead shieldings. A diagram can be seen here. The authorities decided not to prosecute him, even after one employee presenting them recordings of him trying to talk the said employee into it."

seems fine to me

makes sense; those things are probably expensive and, I gather, are sensitive to radiation. Don't want to risk damaging them.

Don't panic

By similar logic, people should drive at night with their headlights off. If they can't be seen, it makes it harder for other drivers to hit them.

Right. I think you're catching on. An extra advantage is, when your lights are on, the light going out pushes your car backwards. That's alright if you want it, but if you turn off your lights, you can literally save gas. And gas is our most valuable natural resource.
