    "The high dose was discovered in an area that doesn't hamper recovery efforts at the plant," Tepco spokesman Junichi Matsumoto told reporters on Tuesday.
    Yep, what a horrible piece. They totally didn't mention that the spots are just an inconvenience.

      Excellent commentary on that article.

        sounds exaggerated.
        I trust your judgment on this one. Real or BS?

          There are many sources in hospitals and research labs from which you would absorb a lethal dose within seconds. It would take you hours or days to die, though.

            10 sv/hr isn't high enough for that, though. It would take most of an hour to absorb a lethal dose at that rate.

              I vote we put you in a cage, ship you to the site, and test how long it takes for you to die... for SCIENCE!

                      Yet another Ben Kenobi reading fail.
                      Um, lethal dose is 10 seiverts.

                      More like another Oerdin posting fail.

                        3-6 sv hourly dosage is enough to kill if left untreated.

                        The article says 10 is the max the equipment could measure... so the spots are likely higher. Also, according to this



                        Their have been readings of 266sv per hour in the steam. How long do you think you'd last in that?

                        FOREVER CUZ JESUS DUH lol

                          1/26th of an hour would be longer than 'seconds'. Just overall bad reporting. You'd need dosages of around 2000 severts an hour to give you a fatal dose in several seconds.

                            I'm not an expert. That's why I vote we send you there and find out to settle this issue. That way, there is no need to squabble. SCIENCE
