Big earthquake in Japan - Page 50

Here is a table comparing doses of radition and their effects. With all the figures being thrown around it's hard to know what kind of exposure you need to be concerned about.

Is there anywhere they have a real time map of the where the radioactive gases are moving with radiation levels at different sites? That would be helpful!

It's only a short clip, but it's the size of the wave

YouTube - Japan Tsunami at full height from the ground level.

This, from Sunday, has more or less no coverage in Western media

Thanks for that tipsy. From what I can tell from those links most areas away from the reactors have little to worry about at this stage.

Hmm...right, well, as my previous post was all doom and gloom - for all you fans of cats - here's some good news from Japan's 'Cat Island'

Nice find Tipsy. So today looks like the worst day for those south of the reactors so far. Will be interesting to see if levels reach unsafe levels for long in any major populated areas. I hope they don't!

radiated cloud caused by No.3 reactor explosion had passed Tokyo this morning. and the level of radiation increased from 20CPM to 80CPM then.

We assume another one caused by No.4 reactor explosion will reach Tokyo around 20:00-24:00 tonight. I'm not sure how the level of radioactivity would be then.

That's not too bad then. It's not unusual to have up between 350-400 cpm when you fly in a plane on a trans continental flight. Sure we're talking differnt types of radiation but that's nowhere near unsafe levels in Tokyo.

With all the pictures coming out from this disaster, I can't help but notice how clean everybody is, is it just me or is it in almost every pic everybody is really clean wearing really clean clothes that look freshly washed and ironed even days after this has happened, including all the rooms they are taking shelter in all the blankets like they just come out the wash and everything freshly ironed crisp and clean, in fact only today did I see just one picture of a guy who had a bit of dust on his hands. Amazing.

Usually with natural disasters like this u would naturally see people covered in dirt and dust and looking dishevelled and untidy and terrified screaming, and here are these people calm and, again, I just can't help but notice, very very clean!
