OT – Nuclear Fallout Map

[KSMountain]

Note the dose rate just above the water surface in one of the “troughs” at one of the plants is evidently over 1000 *milli* Sieverts/hour.

So that’s pretty damn high. And I believe that is outside the containment. The accepted total dose (I don’t know if this is per year, or per incident or whatever) is 100 mSv (Japan’s old limit), 250 mSv (Japan’s new limit for this emergency), or 500 mSv (World Health Org).

Even using the highest number, 500 mSv, you’d get that in half an hour hanging out near that trough.

But at other places in the plant the dose rate is in the microsieverts per hour.

Unfortunately you start talking “milli” and “micro” and some folks eyes will start to glaze over. They both start with an “m” but it’s important to try to keep them straight as a milli is a thousand times bigger than a micro.

Digging down and trying to understand data and research is a difficult task for the layman. But on thing is for sure, politics and money fucking ruin science.

The health effects of the Chernobyl accident are massive and demonstrable. They have been studied by many research groups in Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine, in the USA, Greece, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan. The scientific peer reviewed literature is enormous. Hundreds of papers report the effects, increases in cancer and a range of other diseases. My colleague Alexey Yablokov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published a review of these studies in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (2009). Earlier in 2006 he and I collected together reviews of the Russian literature by a group of eminent radiation scientists and published these in the book Chernobyl, 20 Years After. The result: more than a million people have died between 1986 and 2004 as a direct result of Chernobyl.

Since the official International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) figures for the Fukushima contamination are from 200 to 900kBq.sq metre out to 78km from the site, we can expect between 22% and 90% increases in cancer in people living in these places in the next 10 years.

snip

In the meantime, I challenge each of them to debate this issue with me in public on television face to face, so that the people can figure out who is right. For the late Professor John Gofman, a senior figure in the US Atomic Energy Commission until he saw what was happening and resigned, famously said: “the nuclear industry is waging a war against humanity.”
