Yamamoto Corporation has unveiled a new line of undies and drysuits, for the Fukushima clean-up crews. Dubbed "radiation shield wear", it differs from traditional radiation protective clothing.
It has several layers of protection and it is a pair of lead-lined underwear that keeps harmful Gamma Rays away from your abdomen and lower spine.
The drysuit is designed to stop radioactive materials from sticking to your person because when radioactive material sticks to you, you're quickly exposed to much higher levels of the stuff.
It comes with extra layers of protected added to its hands and feet, and the drysuit will cover all extremities. The only opening in the suit is one for your face mask.
The drysuit will cost $1,072 while the lead-lined underwear will cost an additional $825. Nothing too expensive if it means saving your life.
