That's a complete bullocks chart. I've said it before here but they add a Sv/hour to a Sv per day to a Sv per year and say the answer =3.

That's pretty despicable even by the ordinarily piss-poor "I love violence death and torture" standards of the Slowwhand we all know and must tolerate

Full story.

well it's for general education only, but it is based on "real" sources... so not total bollocks

or are you suggesting that is propaganda? and you have a more accurate graphical interpretation of the various radiation sources and related exposure risk?

Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen demonstrates how Fukushima's fuel rods melted and shattered

Please rerain from referencing Mr. Gunderson. He has been shown to inflate his resume with little substance.

Here's my theory on math. It's based on real sources, so it's not total bollocks:
1+1=2
2*2=4
--------- +
3*3=6

I don't have anything better on the radiation thing, but it's nonsense like the statement I made about my math.

Have you even tried to understand what the graph you posted claims? And did you even look if my critisism on it has any credibility to it? Or do you just like to spout the word 'propaganda' around?

3*3 doesn't equal 6, Poindexter. That's assuming your little asterisk use is meant to be a multiplier, which would be a natural assumption.

The above notwithstanding, germanos' objections do not hold water because the Sv is not time dependent.

So you think you can add them up like is done in the chart?
