[dariusmartin78]

I was reading about a town in Northern Iran called Ramsar. It has the highest radiation background in the world - 260 mSV / year (around 30 microSv / hour). No nuclear accident happened there. The town is situated near some naturally occurring radioactive hot water springs that emit high radiation. The strangest thing about it is that people living there have developed a sort of immunity to radiation.

This comes to show just how little we actually know about radiation.

[lilnicky47]

@dariusmartin78 That;s true but remember Fukushima released hundreds, possibly thousands of different radioactive elements that were turned to dust and vapor.

[Escalade1080p]

Does anybody know how long the people who lived in the 20km zone can't live there anymore? :-(

[linghun]

@Escalade1080p They can live, as posted above, that city in Iran (Ramsar) has very healthy inhabitants even though it is more radioactive than Fukushima or Chernobyl. Many inhabited places are more radioactive than areas affected by nuclear powerplant leaks. Over 2000 nuclear bombs have been detonated on Earth and no ill effects are known. Las vegas is within rage of over 200 above-ground nuclear tests and nobody died or got sick except some people who were very close.

if they stayed in the highest radioctive point, in one hour they would have got the same amount of a body CT scan. Don't panic. Use brain.

[lesperancager]

Damn it.....110 microSv/h. More than 820 times higher radiation than normal (e.p. Germany)....nearly 1Sv in a year!!! Not a place, where i want to be now.

btw, I haven't seen anything on the news about japan for the past two weeks (in France, second nuclear energy producer in the world).

I wonder if thats done on purpose...so we do not kill the french nuclear program.

Печально. Представляю, как мистически будут выглядеть эти места лет через 10-20-30-40... в заброшенном доме стоят тапочки у порога, на столе - ложки, чашки, тарелки с останками пищи, диван с газетой, и дата: 11 марта 2011... только одичавшие кошки будут посещать эти дома...

[killerofdoom2435]

Those 2 must of been fucking mad to go that close to the Nuclear power plant...

This is why i like RT :P

[EmperorLjas]

@killerofdoom2435 Of course, neither of those guys had anything to do with RT. The news agency just downloaded the video and slapped their watermark on it.

[kinggenejohnson]

@EmperorLjas so this means that the nuclear reactors just gonna explode or give off more radiation

[rickcain2320]

@kinggenejohnson

They could still explode. They have been spending the past weeks trying to stop possible runaway reactions which could result in massive steam or hydrogen explosions.

[kinggenejohnson]

@rickcain2320 so the dogs left behind will be exposed to radiation and die also how can you die in a tsunami

[killerofdoom2435]

@EmperorLjas Least they get stuff like this unlike BBC and those ameican news channels...

[LatterDayVisionsORG]

Stay away from the nuclear power plant, you never know what Godzilla is going to pop out and kill you... We Never realized the Godzilla movies were actually Prophecy...

[FormalStudiesCZ]

WTF ARE THEY DOING ? GET OUT OF THERE !

[Ilkamy]

At 1.5 km from Fukushima the radiation was 112 µSv/h = 981,1 mSv/year, that's about 500 times higher than the "normal radiation" dose.

1 Sievert (Sv) = 1,000 Millisievert (mSv) = 1,000,000 Microsievert (µSv)

Normal radiation dose per YEAR is 1 mSv. In Japan the DAILY DOSE is 3.5 mSv which is at least 1,000-fold higher. It changes daily...

Between 1 and 5 mSv per YEAR is the "average level of radiation", depending on the work area, ground, medication, food, space, smoking, flying height etc.

[scarredsky]

what a terrible idea.

[DetachedOnlooker]

Oh and fuck all naysayers and downplayers. Quite honestly if it sounds like a metal detector on the beach in L.A. u shouldnt be there plain and simple. go help with the cleanup if its so harmless. the cumulative effects are what are the worst from these types of things, if I understand right. Those readings there were only illustrating what we all know. the news is lying. and japan is probably gonna be uninhabitable. Or generations to come wiped out by cancer/mutated babies. :(

[Karoteur]

I've got cancer from watching this

[cReePyLunatic]

they are searching for dragon balls

[slobomotion]

Cows die horrible deaths if not milked twice daily. They should be put down.

[reballare]

@slobomotion I think the least of japan's concerns is the welfare of some cows

[slobomotion]

@reballare Surely you are right. I tend to have equal concern for all sentient beings, and I may go overboard. Flies dream, they have REM, and I consider plants to have awareness. I do think the cows and dogs we see here ought to be put down, however.

[reballare]

@slobomotion Im sure it will be dealt with a some point. When the Chernobyl disaster happened there were people tasked with shooting all the irradiated wildlife. It was part of the cleanup operation.

[slobomotion]

@reballare There's a clip up of a guy who goes back to his mother's home and the family business, a mortician, and there is a dog there on a chain. I hope they freed it. I know it seems silly to worry about "dumb animals" but I do. I just think they're as valid as humans are, they are sentient, too. Very kind comment, thank you.

[turkeysandvich]

speechless

[Cabal777]

What an idiot. Not even a protective suit... tctctc

[RimantasL]

@Cabal777

There is no nedd for protective suit.

[PhouFoo]

@Cabal777 Get your facts straight. Max at 100 µSv/h... thats nothing. Even if he stayed there for 1h (which he didnt) it would be as much as a chest xray.

There are dangers of course like iodine-131, but if he prepared for that (which i think he did) he will be just fine.

Natural radiation is about 1 mSv per year which is 0,11 µSv/h for everyone of us! He was exposed to around 20 times that dose for not longer than an hour i guess. No dangers involved!

[Sweetybboy]

damnn thats pity for wat happened in Japan((

so guys the Chernobol very fucking or this fukusima ??? who knows...

Sometimes gadgets work poorly and than someone dies...let's hope that this one is not the case

[jamexxxxxx]

i think deadly dose is about 4000µSv

@Religiousfairytales evil scientists love destruction and playing god. what about human and animal cloning? it should never be allowed in this planet.

[reballare]

@jojo1ukuk okay. As of now you are no longer allowed the latest in medical treatments. You have to walk everywhere because you cant drive/fly. Turn of the TV/ radio/ lights and sit in the dark if science is so evil.

[PcGamerPaul]

Sorry but, Why does radiation kill you?

[XshipwreckedinloveX]

@PcGamerPaul  Well; you Either get radiation poisoning

or if you get a smaller dose it tweaks the cells in your body and can cause cancer.

[cory2146]

@PcGamerPaul Death of a billion cuts.

[oceanpirate83]

they have the leadbelly perk

[Ilkamy]

People who work in healthcare or in nuclear power plants in Germany, are allowed a maximum radiation exposure of 20 mSv per YEAR.

From 2.5 Sievert within a short time it comes to medical problems. This is a very high value that can only be achieved with radiation accidents. Without good medical help, about half of the contaminated people dies.

From short-term doses of five Sievert, there is little survivors.

From ten Sievert, death is almost inevitable.

[493175001]

@Ilkamy

20 mSv, so about 3 months at 10 µSv/h?

[Ilkamy]

@493175001

At 1,5 km from Fukushima the radiation was 112 µSv/h = 981,1 mSv/year, that's about 500 times higher than the "normal radiation" doses.

Between 1 and 5 mSv per year is the "normal level of radiation", depending on the work area, ground, medication, food, space, smoking, flying height etc.

1 Sievert (1 Sv) = 1,000 Millisievert (mSv) = 1,000,000 Microsievert (µSv)

The average dose per YEAR is 1 mSv. Now in Japan the DAILY DOSES is 3.5 mSv which is at least 1,000-fold higher.

[A4DRIVR]

@MaggFaggSioux It is truly sad to see ignorant responses such as yours...

[akaltsikis]

so about 982 millisieverts / year which is 3 times bigger than the radiation that people got in Chernobill and Some people feel nausea and loss of appetite; bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen damaged.

[disymewn]

what a stupid man. Why didn't he go inside the reactor to check the radiation level as well???

Next time, try jumping off an airplane with no parachute to measure the speed...

Unless the reporter was CHUCK NORRIS !!!

1 pikoCN (Chuck Norris) kills instantly, even radiation...

[jamaulbrown]

surprisingly low radiation levels !!

[LesMarvelous]

I get the shiver.

How come that someone goes freely in a radioactive contaminated and evacuated zone? Just to show the world the results of the Geiger-counter. (the μSv/h contamination) It's nothing new we knew it already!

But now also the people in Japan know that you don't taste, see, feel etc. radioactivity.

I really can't believe how man can be so stupid - playing with their health and life with journeys like this.

Will you go back after it rained? You can be sure it is worse then.

[TofTain]

:O Looks like this is what we are going to get after a nuclear war...

[999silverhk]

112 µSv/hr??? if you stay longer you will become a X-men member!!

[alex054739]

interesting to watch.

[Pianoblacks]

Wait I don't get it, come hoe during 3km and 2.9km the radiation dropped and then suddenly 2.5km it picked up more radiation again?

3km = 3.64 uSv

2.9km = 1.20 uSv

2.5km = 7.85 uSv

[ZardexM]

@Pianoblacks Because they did not tell at which direction of the plant they were at whichever point of the ride. The radiation spreads differently to different directions baced on the weather and other conditions.

[Pianoblacks]

@ZardexM Oh? So radiation depends a lot on the wind? I always assumed the radiation will spread oval like outwards. THanks for the info!

[ZardexM]

@Pianoblacks radiation itself does spread outwards like that, but the radioactive particles that cause the radiation spread physically according to several conditions like the wind and water and moisture.

[ichigo73186]

@MaggFaggSioux You are disgusting. I hope you lose everything you have and starve to death in some dirty back alley.

[grooveclubhouse]

so were looking at a little over 1 milli sievert an hour right?

[ZardexM]

@grooveclubhouse That's right, at it's worst point. But that's only what the meter shows. Many particles are hard to detect and no one meter can tell the entire story. Meters cannot actually tell you the correct dosage because they do not measure in dosages. You can insert a conversion to them so they display a dosage you believe the measurement of particles should translate to, like was done here. In order to do that you need to know what particles are causing that particular radiation level.

[thebuzz2010]

@ZardexM if you lived there, how long before the radiation would kill you?

[ZardexM]

@thebuzz2010 It would cause diseases that would inevitably make death more likely earlyer.

Radiation itself is a direct risk only on much higher levels but some of the more dangerous particles around there accumulate over time inside humans.

There is cause for evacuation even on some locations 200km from Fukushima if we use the same criteria as was used in Chernobyl. Chernobyl was a milder incident. Within the plantyard a single day can kill if 400mSv/h dosage still prevails there.

[thebuzz2010]

@thebuzz2010 wow thats messed up, worse that Chernobyl? thats crazy, thanks for the info

[grooveclubhouse]

@ZardexM Thanks, just trying to get my head around this. So 100 milli sieverts is how much a nuclear plant worker is allowed in one year right? that means that if you stayed at the last location in the video more than 4.16 days you would have hit that limit. but what I really dont understand is HOW bad 100 milli sieverts received dosage are for you. and your right about what kind of particle is emitting the radiation. Had forgotten that there are gamma and alpha etc. that does matter to.

[ZardexM]

@grooveclubhouse 100mSv dose is not completely safe if you recieve it within say 1 week. There is a very real risk of several mild defects or increased potential for diseases. Nothing awefully dangerous though. The people on the video however certainly did not receave a dose anywhere close to 1 mSv. They were in protective gear and most of the radiation is from Iodine-131 and Cesium-137. The small ammounts of plutonium-239 will stay with them for the rest of their lives though.

[grooveclubhouse]

@ZardexM awesome. now i have an idea of whats going on. thanks.

[ZardexM]

@grooveclubhouse Chernobyl has resulted in close to 1 million people world wide dieing earlyer from diseases and other indirect effects of Chernobyl disaster. Taking in to account that within the 200km zone of Fukushima there are about 10 million people and at least half of them will be medically effected to some degree, we can see why the director of IAEA has said this is worse then Chernobyl. At the very least over 2 million will eventually die earlyer then normal as a result of Fukushima.

[grooveclubhouse]

@ZardexM From the very beginning of this I knew this was going to be as bad a Chernobly. The day I saw those building go up one by one. I knew that the contents of at least the spent fuel pools had been distributed all over the grounds of the plant. Those pellets are only the size of maybe the tip of a finger.

[Cityj0hn]

@MaggFaggSioux judgment from god yes... payback 4 pearl harbor no, that was a set up like 9/11

[meljudah888]

smh!!!

[FIGHTINGFATCOWS]

if they can walk around in japan with all that gear on ... why don't we send it over to them ? Andd! why can't we put on these suits and go cover the freaking power plant even though it's on meltdown... just go do something to stop it... freaking japan man 2012

[Typhoon10UK]

Is there 1000 uSv/h in one mSv/h?

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

Thank god this aint 3 mile island

[lexyota]

Thank God I'm in America.

[WatcherIsWatching]

THEY DON'T NEED ROADBLOCKS

BECAUSE ONLY IDIOTS WOULD GO THERE!

[emwavemhz]

@MaggFaggSioux I don't understand your attitude toward Japan! The Japanese are a good people and they don't deserve this to happen to them or to anyone else for that matter! This problem is of concern to all of humanity as the radioactivity is spreading world wide, and remember here in the USA we have over 100 Nuclear power plants so please don't jinx us because we could have over 100 times that level of trouble under the same conditions.

[mcburgerist]

creepy

[detroitr]

Hi everybody! Great lecture on radiation and cancer at the UC Berkeley page "Physics 10 - Lecture 05: Radioactivity"

[tubeyou9878]

Did you hear about the nuke plant meltdown in Israel? They said we need some brave Jews to go in there to put this out, but they all hauled arse

[tubeyou9878]

force them to allow hemp to be grown Hemp would feed all the power plants and no pollution, because it's like burning small pieces of wood. Very cheap compared to coal and oil. Plus it grows on top of the ground. It's renewable

This journalist was on CNN last night. This video did not show the animals that were left behind. It was so sad to see the stray pets and farm animals on this deserted land. My heart breaks for this brave man and the Japanese people. The journalist mentioned on CNN that the scariest thing was that he did not feel anything going into this zone... no burning, nothing, as if things are just normal.

[pierreyveslaurent]

reminds me of the video game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." somehow :s... kinda sad :s

[Lapata999]

Welcome to the new zone , stalkers.

[zrah1092]

I think people just associate the sound of BEEPs with danger. 

[Tr1pTr0p]

Just as a comparison; 0.04 - 0.30 µSv/h is the natural background radiation...

[garwall54]

112µSv/h= 0,112Millisievert/h =1,12×10-4 Sievert/h



[SAYYOURROSARY]

@Tr1pTr0p Yea we got it . radiation is good for us .

[jordanselko]

I doubt anyone who actually watches this even knows what those numbers mean. Just more fear mongering by RT.
