Radiation detection disc

The German inventor Nils Ferber designed the dish capable of detecting radiation in food.

Each disc, called Fukushima, is equipped with a radioactive measuring device and 3 circles made of LED lights, allowing it to glow to warn the level of radioactivity in the dish.

Accordingly, if no circle lights up, it means that your dish has no radioactivity. If only 1 or 2 circles turn on, the dish is radioactive but below the danger level.

If the red circle is lit up, you should think seriously about whether you are really hungry and need to eat the dish on the plate.

' Fukushima disc is a normal dish but has a radioactivity device to display the level of radiation contamination of the food. That may be an indispensable tool to survive in the future , 'the Daily Mail quoted Ferber as saying.

German experts also note that users need to disassemble the radioactive measuring device before washing the disc.

The disk was named after the power plant that suffered a radiation leak after the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan earlier this year. After this disaster, a number of fish species off the coast of Japan were found to have high levels of radioactive contamination.
