Radiation Level Perspective

The IAEA says spent fuel rod fire on reactor 4 was put out.  Radiation levels have dropped.

Radiation levels had reached 400 millisievert per hour.  The IAEA says “A person’s radiation exposure due to all natural sources amounts on average to about 2.4 millisievert (mSv) per year.”  This clearly shows how bad the radiation levels got, and why people were told to get inside, and not to drink even tap water.

However, NHK, Japan’s public news service, continued to interview “experts” who down played the levels.
