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. | ||

Edit: Not official gov't word, but NHK is saying to stay inside even if you're more than 10km away. That's equivalent to around ~ 100 mR / hr, and I believe the average dose per year in the US is around 360. That still isn't good, but it still isn't catastrophic (yet) | ||

To add a little : 1 mSv/hr is indeed the amount of radiation any normal citizen should not be able to get. Problem is : radiation depends on distance, in a (1/d²) law. If it's like at one meter of the power-plant, it's not that bad, but yeah, it's a definite proof there's a leak... | ||

I forget which direction they said it was, but that was measured on some hill I think -- which presumably would be quite a distance since that place isn't on a hill. | ||

Japanese search and rescue teams have been working tirelessly in Christchurch over the past few weeks and have made a big difference. The leader, with a tear in his eye explained that they'd be heading home today and that some of the team had already lost family members. They'll be accompanied by New Zealand teams they've been working alongside since the quake. I just can't imagine what it must be like for those men, having been tirelessly searching amongst crushed buildings for weeks: retrieving bodies and clearing debris... to now head home and face a even greater challenge on their home. I'd like to raise a glass to them, and to the other search and rescue teams from around the world that have been helping out in Christchurch and are now heading to Japan. They're heroes. Oh wow. How tragic. Those men are heroes already indeed. | ||
