This can’t be good
No, it’s not good. Sometimes you really do need to do a cost benefit analysis. The danger of nuclear power when something goes wrong is just horrendous. There is no chance for a “do over” - the fallout is permanent.
Back in the ‘90’s, I worked a refueling at the Oconee Nuclear Plant. When exiting a “hot” area, a detector reading of 150 dpm would set off the alarm and require decontamination (usually done by using masking tape to pull the offending speck of hot material off). In contrast, if you placed a Coleman Lantern mantle before the detector it would read 2000 dpm. Coleman lantern mantles are available in Walmart and other stores, sitting on the shelf.
Saying that the level is much higher than normal does not necessarily mean that the world is about to end, regardless of the breathless pronunciations of the news talking heads and their anti-nuke activists posting as “experts’ on the news.
The average nuclear plant worker gets less radiation than an airline flight crew member. You will get more radiation leaning against a granite Federal building than you will leaning against the fence of a nuclear power plant.
