NHK reported 10,000 times more than acceptable radiation after the explosion...
Yup, we have ships at sea, downwind. They are on the road to Chernobyl now.
I’ve been told on here that can’t happen with a LWR. I was told to ‘educate myself’ on the matter.
What?? URL please.
1,000 Microseiverts is considered the maximum safe exposure dosage for one year. An Airline pilot will be exposed to an average of 85 microsieverts flying between Honolulu and Tokyo.
So, if the numbers from TEP are to be believed, the exposure dosage on site has gone from 1,000ms, to just over 1,900.
A CT Scanner runs about 2000-2200 micro sieverts in one use.
Not a really dangerous dosage, but not one you want to be exposed to over a long period.
To put this in perspective, the firefighters at Chernobyl got about 7-13 MILLION microsieverts, and a cancer patient gets around a 50-60 MILLION microsievert dose to the affected area.
