So, it's about ~ 100 millisievert / hr at a distance of 1, 5 km from a reactor according to footage. What about a situation with radiation exposure nearby damaged reactors, I wonder? |

Radioactive particles found in rainwater across S. Korea
SEOUL, April 8, Kyodo Traces of radioactive particles have been detected in rainwater across South Korea following the release of contaminants from a stricken nuclear power plant in Japan, but the levels are too small to pose any risks to humans or the environment, according to the country's nuclear safety agency. The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety said detailed analysis of rainwater Thursday showed traces of iodine-131 in 11 of the 12 detection centers nationwide, with cesium-134 picked up in five locations and cesium-137 in four. The highest levels of iodine-131, celsium-134 and celsium-137 in rainwater were all detected at the center closest to Japan, on Jeju Island off South Korea's southern coast. The concentration levels are all far too low to pose any health risks even if a person were to drink 2 liters of such rainwater every day for a year, KINS officials said, according to Yonhap News Agency.

Just saw this on NHK World, which confuse me. They are saying the level of radiation around Fukushima has no health concern, and that traces of radiation from around the world is still MUCH lower than that of Chernobyl. That said, they are saying that this incident was worse than Three Mile, if thats the case, why was Three Mile such a big deal then????
NHK WORLD English UN expert: Fukushima worse than Three Mile Island A senior UN scientific official says the ongoing problems at the Fukushima nuclear plant are much more serious than the Three Mile Island case in the US in 1979. The chairman of the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, Wolfgang Weiss, spoke at a news conference in Vienna on Wednesday. He said the Fukushima case is less serious than the accident at the Chernobyl plant in the former Soviet Union in 1986. Weiss said his organization has seen traces of iodine in the air all over the world but they are much lower than traces seen at similar distances after Chernobyl. The Japanese government is rating the Fukushima accident a "level 5" on the international scale of 7 that measures nuclear accidents. The Three Mile Island is ranked a level 5 and Chernobyl a level 7. But Weiss said although detected radiation levels around the Fukushima plant are higher than normal, they are not expected to have major impact on people's health. The UN committee is to send its experts to Japan to see the effects of radiation from the Fukushima plant, after consulting with the Japanese government. Friday, April 08, 2011 06:15 +0900 (JST) |
