Thank you davidbarnes!! you seem to be the only person talking sense in this thread. For all of you people who want facts,
Radiation Exposure Risk Explained
As Fukushima Daiichi continues to leak radiation, a 30-mile no-fly zone was set up around the reactor site. Residents within 10 km of the nuclear power plant have been evacuated. Residents living between 10 and 30 km of Fukushima Daiichi have been told to stay indoors. Sales of Geiger counters have soared. If you live near Fukushima Daiichi and you bought a Geiger counter, make sure you know how to use it: How to Read a Geiger Counter.
How much radiation exposure is too much? While it's true that we are exposed to radiation all the time, the amount is tiny. Absorbed radiation is measured in millisieverts (mSv). An eight-hour flight exposes you to .085 mSv. A chest x-ray exposes you to 10 mSv.
Radiation Levels at Fukushima Daiichi are Dangerous
The maximum level of radiation detected at Fukushima Daiichi has been 1,500 mSv (1.5 sieverts), with exposure levels at 400 mSv per hour (far mroe than an x-ray machine)!!!!!!!
According to the World Nuclear Association, 1,000 mSv (1 Sv) is the threshold for causing immediate radiation sickness over a short period of exposure, but will not be fatal. Still, that level of radiation is dangerous: those exposed can face illness and health problems later in life.
