Fungi is found in the Chernobyl reactor and is growing towards the radiation. Apparently, it take in gamma radiation and converts into chemical energy. Like plants take in sunlight. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/fungi-that-eats-radiation-found-thriving-inside-the-chernobyl-nuclear-reactor-could-be-used-like-a-sun-block-for-humans-to-protect-against-deadly-rays/ar-BBZExce

From CNA: SYDNEY: Australian nuclear inspectors on Tuesday said they were to examine a shipment of cars arriving from tsunami-hit Japan following fears a number of the vehicles might be contaminated with radiation. ARPANSA, Australia's nuclear safety agency, said it would board the cargo ship Trans Future 7 when it docked south of Sydney on Thursday after a request from port workers. "This inspection is being made to reassure stevedores after concerns from the Maritime Union of Australia that as 30 of the cars are used vehicles they may possibly have originated from the tsunami and nuclear affected areas," an ARPANSA spokesman told AFP. "These concerns have arisen after the discovery of low levels of radioactivity in cars recently shipped from Yokohama (to Chile)." The 800-car shipment was being tested "simply as a precaution," the spokesman added. "ARPANSA advises that the risk to health of people handling mail, containers or cargo arriving from the affected areas in Japan is assessed as very low," he said. Australian new car sales slumped 14.5 per cent year-on-year in May due to "delays in delivery of Japanese manufactured vehicles" associated with the March quake and tsunami in Japan, according to the statistics bureau. Japan is Australia's major automotive supplier, accounting for some 33 per cent of car and parts imports. -AFP/wk

As fears of radiation from Japan's severely compromised Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant seemed to be growing by the minute, automakers have tried to assure car buyers that most of their products are produced far enough away from the crippled facility that fallout won't end up on their vehicles. However, Nissan USA wants to go a step further by performing a radiation inspection on all vehicles imported from Japan. Nissan is the first Japanese automaker to monitor its vehicles for radioactivity. The additional check will continue until all threats of contamination have subsided. Nissan is following through with the inspections even though The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association announced that it has found no harmful levels of radiation in any vehicles destined for export. I feel that vehicle contamination, if any, would be far less severe than crop contamination. However, I salute Nissan USA for taking the extra step to give consumers a peace of mind. Sales of Japanese car worldwide has already been hit by a strong Yen, hope that contamination concern will not further dampen the sales figure.

US sub could have leaked radiation in Singapore: govt AFP - Tuesday, August 26SINGAPORE (AFP) - - A US nuclear-powered submarine could have leaked radioactive water during a Singapore stop in September 2006, Singapore's Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean said Monday. ADVERTISEMENT Speaking in parliament, Teo said the United States informed Singapore this month that the USS Houston had been leaking trace amounts of radioactive water since June 2006. "This suggested that the USS Houston could have been leaking during her port call at Changi Naval Base in September 2006," Teo said in response to a parliamentary question. Singapore had asked the United States for information after reports in early August said the USS Houston could have been leaking radioactive water during a port call in Japan in March this year, he said. US tests showed the amount of radioactivity that could have leaked from the submarine during its Singapore stop was too small to pose any risk to public health, said Teo. "To put things into perspective, the US indicated that this was less than the amount of radioactivity found in a common smoke detector, and would not have any adverse effect on human health, marine life or the environment," the defence minister said. Singapore also conducted its own investigations which also showed public safety had not been affected by the leak at Changi Naval Base, he said. Copyright
