This is a bit of trivia I just learned yesterday and love! Though Australia has only one nuclear reactor* (for medical isotopes), their Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPASA) sets the standards for sunglasses :-) Because - hey - UV radiation! If only everyone had this level of understanding of the word radiation. And... solar radiation is a serious issue in Australia.
*in spite of having huge reserves of uranium
