0.3 micro sievert per hour

At Hita Basin, dead end narrow valley 60 kilometres away from Kokura

Radiation contamination became real.

  1. You realize that's about 2.5 mSv/year, roughly the world average?

  2. Our standard before accident was 1 milli sievert per year. 0.11 micro sievert per hour.

  3. Measured how? You're not going to be measuring your own internal exposure from K-40 and C-14.

  4. Someone pointed out that the counter we used is an old version, which shows radiation level higher than real one. If it were the counter after version SOEKS01M 1.AL, it might show 0.12~0.15μSv/h.

    So considering the background level, air dose rate there must be about 0.1μSv/h.

    So he says not to worry too much.

    As if i were a frog in a tepid water, a frog is likely to lose the moment of leaping from the lukewarm water, though it kept on being boiled.
