NTT Docomo unveils smartphone jacket to measure radiationTOKYO, Sept. 22, Kyodo
NTT Docomo Inc. has unveiled a prototype of a smartphone cover capable of measuring radiation levels.
The cover is equipped with a sensor to gauge gamma radiation, ultraviolet rays,
bad breath and body fat [???], the Japanese telecommunication giant said Wednesday.
The smartphone itself can save data measured on the sensor, including the time and place, and the figures may be shared with other users of the system, it said.
The company said it has not decided when it will release the product into market.
The desire to measure radiation levels has increased among people in Japan due to an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station triggered by the March quake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.

@Hedge yes after all these years though it has been cleaned as far as possible, strange isnt it a quarter century later Scotland still has radioactive material from a small but sustained 'leakage' whilst over in Japan all the massive amounts of radiation that entered the ocean over te past 6months has disappeared...magic eh

@Edano Oh I totally get it. Only a few people have my cell number, I don't answer it unless it comes up as a number I need to answer. I use the smartphone side of mine way too much to ditch it.

Kansai Electric to pull the old "you will have to conserve power unless you let us start up our nukes" for the winter.

@elainekirk The myth that Japan can't survive without nuclear power was pretty much squished this summer.
