  • Great explanation, thanks! It doesn't sound that bad then, right?

  • @Antagonist77

    so far ... but they dont know how long it will last. A low dose of radiation over years could be harmful but yes for just a few months or weeks it will not be harmful.

  • 1 millisievert = 1000 microsieverts

see all

  • @metallicism Exactly. They lump all forms together and ignore the huge difference between internal and external emitters. I just hope that when people start going terminal in droves that a few of them have the sense to use their final opportunities to take out some trash.

  • How many of those readings were taking at about chest level? Most of them? Oh, well, what a perfect fucking way to map contamination then.

  • How much strontium, plutonium, cesium, etc. are people exposed to by taking plane trips and getting x-rays? Zero? Oh, well, what a perfect fucking comparison then.

  • Iwaki: 23.72uSv/h = 17.0784 millisieverts per month. The annual average dose limit for nuclear workers in Europe is around 20 millisieverts per year.

    This of course does not take into account ingestion of cesium and iodine isotopes from eating and drinking.

    NHK won't tell you THAT...

  • @Antagonist77 , It will be great. It has electrolites!
