Wait until someone tells the author about the sun. I get bathed in a radioactive death rays most mornings.

At the very end of the article:

> ...the levels of cesium-137 are barely detectable...

You'll get a lot more exposure from a single plane flight!

The sun is radioactive. Sunlight is not radioactive, it's radiation.

Sunlight does effectively produce radiation burns in your skin, however. And that definitely causes cancer. If we treated sunlight the way we treat barely detectable nuclear radiation, we’d never go outside and we’d use blackout curtains.
