No Radiation Deaths

Bye the Bye, the good doctor who has been on a national network, proclaiming 160 radiation poisonings inside the Japanese nuclear plant - is wrong, wrong, wrong.

One worker has had a dose above administrative limits, and still not up to legal limits. His blood work may show changes, but only blood samples can show this. No one has suffered radiation sickness, which requires about 200,000 miliRem. The maximum dose so far is less than 1 fourth of this. http://www.nei.org/newsandevents/information-on-the-japanese-earthquake-and-reactors-in-that-region/radiation-in-perspective

The dose so far is about half what an airline pilot gets on one year.

But, doses at Units 2 and 3 have risen to 40 Rem per hour. And that is between the plants, so it is released to the atmosphere. People near the plant should be evacuated. http://www.nei.org/newsandevents/information-on-the-japanese-earthquake-and-reactors-in-that-region/

Wait, they have been evacuated. As long as the 50 plant workers still on site are successful, no further public action is needed.
