That would be way above 3 times per year, they have to mean uSv

Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members. Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true. | ||

I was outraged, I am not even japanese, I am a korean. and for one, koreans have more reasons to hate japanese to begin with, but at the end of the day, Japan 80 years ago is nothing like japan today. Different rule, different attitude, different nation. How can some people be that dumb to hold grudges against an evolved entity and be able to say such things at the worst timing possible? Just try to ignore dumb people until we can heat water with arrogance and stupidity. | ||

It means they pump more than what is going out, either through leaks or as steam. If there's a breach and the steam can escape, lowering pressure, it will become easier to pump the water in. So no, it doesn't mean that. | ||

What the english translator is saying is 8000 micro-Sv which has to mean uSv yes. | ||

Is there a nuclear explosion, a regular explosion, nature disturbed by nuclear stuff? what happens? I guess what i am asking for, is what can happen. It's all theoretical, according to wikipedia nobody really knows exactly what would happen in the event of a meltdown, but it's probably that if the containment dome is breached and the fuel rods fuse together, it would explode and scatter radioactive material all over Japan, and possibly all the way to the west coast of the USA. | ||
