I came across this interesting article that explains what kind of effects the increase in radioactivity around the Fukushima NPP has to the people and how dangerous the levels are. According to current reports that are liable to change at any moment, the highest levels of radioactivity are reported to be 0.4 Sieverts, which is dangerous to be in for longer periods, but is not lethal.

I dont really think it will have any hard long term results, just increase cancer rates :/
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope it does not explode...
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be containing it well atm.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read, thanks for sharing that article!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the people of Japan. The only real way for people to avoid that crisis is to relocate. The government will probably have to quarantine that area for decades just like in Chernobyl, and you know that's going to cause severe hardship for a lot of people.
ReplyDeletethis is why i keep saying its all media panic, japan will be fine, they are prepared for this
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog, really interesting. Followed :)
ReplyDeleteI expect them to start churning out even more bizarre game-shows and porn in the future.

Nice article.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this. Thx.
XKCD put this in a nice chart - http://xkcd.com/radiation/
ReplyDeleteThis whole situation in Japan is really starting to get to me. Everyone I know there is safe, but that doesn't really help all that much...
ReplyDeleteThat information is legit according to JAIF website. You would normally receive 2 mili Sieverts in one year. Now they are receiving from 0,2 to 0,8 Sieverts per hour!
ReplyDeleteWhen your body absorbed a total of 2 Sieverts or more, I really wish you a very, very good luck.
They will become red
ReplyDeleteFor sure
next evolutionary state of mankind perhaps. and now i feel bad for joking about it...
ReplyDeletePoor Japanese. Like an earthquake with a following tsunami wasn't enough now they are dealing with radiation issues.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is going to be that many long tern effect, and it's nothing like Chernobyl.
ReplyDeleteJust hope none of that crap floats over to the Americas!
ReplyDeleteWell the radiation has been spiking more and more, theres no doubt its going to kill many, many people. Then float over to the west coast.
ReplyDeletebad!
