The Sri Lanka Atomic Energy Authority (SLAEA) would examine water samples from yesterday’s rain to check for any possible radioactivity, an official said.

Head of the SLAEA Prof. Wimaladharma Abeywickrema said that they had already informed the Metrological Department to collect samples from various part of the country.

However, he said no threat of radiation leakage was posed to Sri Lanka following the radiation leakage occurred in the Japanese Nuclear Plant in Fukushima Prefecture. (Thilini de Silva)

Pissu hadena sanda! Why worry about rain water in SL? Japan is thousands of miles away. Instead, check drain water for Dengue.

If radiation is detected... ask Japanese embassy to issue visa to us to go to Japan !

How exactly you are going to check rain water when there is no rain for SL these days?

AJ Tuesday, 22 March 2011 03:21 AM

Be grateful that how remote the possibility is, that SLAEA is doing their job, vigilantly, leaving no stone unturned. It is not something that I can say to many other public institutions.

Use public money for something friutful than wasting! The person proposed this must have brain damaged from radiation.
