Japanese figured out that wearing white clothing would prevent injury

From fast neutrons? and gamma rays??!!! Sorry. Not true. Radiation sickness set in and within days people that might have survived under their white parasols and sundresses were vomiting blood. Maybe 10% die outright. 90% over the ensuing weeks. They might have thought that for a few days. At the most.
