The Radiation levels in Japan
The radiaton in Japan from that nuclear power plant is pretty bad. Japan's goverment punish people that get into a 12.4 mile radius of the power plant. A journalist entered this radius equiped with a filtration mask and a dosimeter (detects radition levels) to see how bad the radition levels where, 1 mile away from the Daiichi plant his dosimeter read 112 microsieverts per hour of radition. I honestly dont know of thats a lot but in this article it says that one of his helper guys said "This looks a little dangerous" so im guessing that its kinda bad. Also any amont of nuclear radition is bad fo ryou anyway so 112 microsieverts cant be to good. Some people are saying that this raditation could possible end up in the air and water of our American beaches. What do you think about all this radition entering the ocean?

ReplyDeleteThe whole radiation situation scares me greatly. I hope all of those people get far away!
sooner or later the wind is gonna carry some of that somewhere, i just hope its nowhere near here
ReplyDeleteHaha dude that sucks!
ReplyDeleteim feeling so bad for Japan right now. It must really suck for some people to have been there when this was going on :(
ReplyDeleteA.) I feel bad for Japan. B.) We wouldn't be getting the radiation in America if they didn't dump it into the ocean.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably not their fault that it's going into the ocean. It's an ISLAND, of course it's gonna go into the ocean. Let's just hope it dissipates before it gets us.
ReplyDeletewow tose are hi levels of radiation. in america a nucelear power plant worker is only allowed to recieve 50 microseverts a YEAR.
ReplyDeletethats good that its all over!adn that would suck if it came across the ocean!! and dont you get superpowers from that stuff??
