The Great Beyond

Japan's nuclear situation is not - not - as horrible as the media report. As a nuclear safety engineer, I am appalled at the false statements by "experts" who do not understand. Check out blogs.nature.com/news/thegreatbeyond/2011/03/high_radiation_levels_seen_far.html

The maximum measured contamination is 17 millirem per hour, 30 kilometers from the nuclear palnts, or 500 times natural background - but, it will be reduced by decay, and total doses to people will not likely go past three chest x-rays.
