Experts say... suddenly, there was a surge in orders! "Nuclear radiation detector" is being snapped up
At noon on August 24th Beijing time, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan started discharging contaminated water into the sea.
As soon as this news was released, netizens immediately shared Japanese made plates produced in June and asked if they would be affected by nuclear radiation.
The reporter found that the term "nuclear radiation detector" has already made it onto the hot search list of a certain treasure.
According to the entry, due to the recent nuclear contaminated water incident in Japan, it is essential to implement a detector that can detect radiation data from imported food, cosmetics, and other products. This product saw a growth rate of 232% this week.
The nuclear radiation detector ranks third on the hot search of a certain treasure. Several vendors selling nuclear radiation detectors have stated that the purchase volume today is much higher than usual.
Some merchants have stated that their sales have been very high in the past two days, which can be several times higher than usual. Some merchants have also stated that sales have skyrocketed today and orders have already exploded.
A customer service representative stated that the instrument can measure radiation containing X-rays, beta rays, gamma rays, and can also measure Japanese food, cosmetics, seafood, minerals, marble, and more.
"The customer service can't even come back," said a staff member from a nuclear radiation detector manufacturer. She said that sales have surged in the past two days, and production capacity cannot be increased immediately, so we cannot increase production immediately.
On a certain e-commerce sales platform, one brand of nuclear radiation detectors sold over 10000 units in August. Customer service said that today's sales were even higher than usual, and even higher than usual. It is not convenient to disclose the specific details.
And another more expensive nuclear radiation detector has sold over 1000 units since January 2023, with a monthly sales volume of over 300 units displayed on the product page. Customer service told reporters that on August 24th alone, sales reached 240 units.
Ms. Liu, a buyer of nuclear radiation detectors, expressed her anxiety after learning about Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater, as nuclear radiation has a significant impact on the human body and may lead to cancer. "Buying a nuclear radiation detector is to seek peace of mind." In addition, a product review from a nuclear radiation detector online store showed that some netizens bought it with peace of mind, while others felt anxious about nuclear wastewater. Some netizens also said it was essential to visit Japan.
Nuclear radiation detection technology expert Wei Honglin stated that nuclear radiation detectors can only perform a qualitative analysis and require high operating methods.
If the radiation in the sample is within the fluctuation range, it cannot be detected. For ordinary people, without such professional knowledge, it is difficult to detect differences using ordinary instruments. There are relatively accurate detection methods for radioactive substances in cosmetics, and they should be taken to the laboratory.
