“This ominous report from Reuters timestamped at 2:43 p.m. says Japanese officials admit that radiation is now being released directly into the air without saying precisely why. Presumably it’s due to the spent fuel rods and not a containment vessel rupture; either way, the leak is significant enough to drive radiation levels around the plant up to 400 millisievert per hour. For comparison purposes, cancer has been linked to levels of 100 millisievert per year. What that means for Tokyo, if those radiation levels don’t start to drop seen, I can’t begin to imagine.”

Can we please use RAD and REM? I know we all want to sound important and use the SI system since that’s what the French use and we want to be more like them, but most here probably were at some point educated in school or trained in the DoD using REM and RAD and those numbers have a meaning to us.
