FYI- in case anyone has seen that insane radiation map (claiming it’s from the Austrailan Radiation Services) that’s been circulating around the internet- PLEASE know it is fake, false, zotworthy, debunked, wrong, inaccurate and just all around bad.

FoxNews is also showing an unrealistic dose map. They are showing 400 mSv/hr up to 30 miles from the Fukushima site, and 30 mSv/hr up to 80 miles away. 10mSv is equivalent to 1 rem, so they are showing 40 Rem/hour up to 30 miles away and 3 Rem/hour 80 miles away. Impossible! If the spent fuel pool was completely drained down, exposing every fuel assembly, you might have 40 Rem/hour by the gate, but dose rates would be in the few millirem/hour rate a few miles down the road.
