300 tons of radioactive water dumped into the ocean. Hot spot in reactor, 530Sv per hour. Was 70Sv [this is due to isotopes breaking down into other isotopes in the chain] 1Sv = 1000mSv So, this is 530,000mSV or 53,000Rem. It's absolutely off the chart. Whilst the hot spots are mind numbingly insane, so much higher than a nuclear explosion and the leakage is a concern for the surrounding waters, the dilution factor of oceans will quickly reduce this to minimal levels of slightly above background. ------------ Further - here

Seeing this just reinforces in my mind that we should not build any nuclear power generation facilities in Australia. Yes, granted, the Japanese have a different situation with all the earthquakes etc, but even in a much more geologically stable place like Australia, I believe that the risks outweigh the benefits.

My daughter flies into Tokyo in March As long as she doesn't breathe, eat or drink anything, she should be quite safe.

Most of the clouds from that event spread across parts of europe and ended up in america from a lot I have read.

Most of the clouds from that event spread across parts of europe and ended up in america from a lot I have read. Dispersal of particles even if they were atmospheric [pretty sure they're not, though there's been ocean leakage and to the same effect] would mean only a tiny blimp on the background [safe] levels of radiation. I like to think of it this way, since all radioactive elements have half lives, the world has always been more radioactive than it is now. Aka we can handle a bit of radiation no issue as life evolved in far higher levels. Concentration is the issue.

Hi guys I notice there is a discrepancy in the units being talked about, while you are talking millisieverts, the news reports are talking levels as high as 530 sieverts! eBay Geiger counter UPC 9852739192756 is a good unit and reasonable price! I use news of events like this to prompt me to check my prepping and see if I'm prepared to deal with what could happen.
As for Australia getting a Nuclear power station, the economics of it don;t stack up. Unlike coal or gas there is not nearly as much uranium about, and talk in the industry is if you built a new nuclear power station now it would probably shut down before it reached the end of its life from lack of fuel.

What happened to Qld sitting on the largest reserves of uranium in the world that the labor government refuses to mine (1 good thing newman did was allow it, but as soon as the red pole got in, she banned it again) such a shame as all the new mines that would of started up could of picked up the slack from the coal downturn and kept all those thousands of mine workers in jobs.
