Radiation Units page finally done (I think)

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Finally incorporated the Curie and the Becquerel in –> my comprehensive Radiation Units page. This post actually has its own static page (RADIOACTIVITY (top bar right) –> Radiation Units (5 down)). If you spot an error, please leave a comment (see the … Continue reading →

Radioactivity – March 19 vs. May 1, 2011 – map comparison – Deutschland

Posted on May 1, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

The only specs on the map where radiation levels are adequately monitored are a few countries in Europe (Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Finland), with Germany having the most user-friendly online interface. A comparison between a screenshot taken of … Continue reading →

Fukushima maybe under control by New Year 2012

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

How TEPCO pulls this off remains a mystery to me. Radiation levels inside the reactor buildings go up and down, but on average they seems pretty darn high as a working environment. In the US, the additional annual dose a … Continue reading →

The Becquerel (630,000,000,000,000,000 Becquerels and counting)

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Further below I’ll revisit what “1 Becquerel” is. 630 thousand teraBecquerel [much much higher numbers have been released and estimated since] is the combined radiation from I-131 and Cs-137 released from the Fukushima Daiichi NNP (6 reactors total, 4 with various … Continue reading →

Radiation Food Standards

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Since food standards are rumored to being adjusted (see my blogpost ‘Radiation Levels: Acceptability Standards for radioactive food being adjusted in US and EU‘ from April 7, 2011), here’s an overview of (pre-adjusted) radiation guidelines for air, water and food, … Continue reading →

10 million times normal was not a mistake

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

“TEPCO has confirmed that radiation levels in water inside the damaged reactors is about 100 rems (1 Sievert) per hour. Apparently that’s only 100,000 times above normal, not 10 million times.” (Source: NIRS, an activist site, no less; all mainstream … Continue reading →

# Fukuchima Fallout across the USA. # Calculating dose (in µSv) from Bq/L measurements. # Why comparing doses can be deceptive. # Fallout (traces of I-131 and sometimes Cs-137) from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have been confirmed detected … Continue reading →

Radiation Reporting – word of caution

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

CAUTION: - After just two weeks of researching radiation science & reporting, I have concluded that comparing dose rates, such as given in the media and on my Radiation Exposure Effects page, is NOT a dependable way to gauge dangers from fallout. For … Continue reading →
