      Nuclear agency compared radioactive material to "agitated wife"

      TOKYO, Japan - Photo shows an illustration the Japan Atomic Energy Agency used on its website of a woman raising her fist and screaming at her husband next to her. The captions next to the image say the wife's scream can be compared to radiation, her agitated state to radioactivity, and the wife herself to radioactive material. The agency removed the page from its website on June 4, 2012, after it triggered an outpouring of criticism as a gross form of discrimination against women.
