Digsy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 It's tearing apart our economy our traditions and our culture when even our radiation is made in Japan. My mint plants have been growing extra branches and it's because of this radiation, it's mutated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltic Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Lovely bit of researched and referenced analysis from another forum. Alexander Litvinenko was given about 2microgrammes of Polonium210, about 10 times the lethal dose. 2 micrograms of P210 has an activity of about 1.66 Gbq, so 1.6 Billion nuclear decays per second [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko_poisoning] The reported radiation in food and water has been between 1.5bq/kg up to 400bq/kg - there has been a lot of varation in the reports, but those are figures commonly seen. The legal limit is 300bq/kg [http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T110320002851.htm] To put this into perspective: Coffee = 1,000bq/kg Brazil nuts = 460bq/kg Granite = 63bq/kg (so if you're in a granit building, it's quite a bit) Cornwall soil = 1000bq/kg [http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/natural.htm] [http://www.rsc.org/images/number6_tcm18-17768.pdf] So yes, you can compare this to Alexander Litvinenko, but only if you're prepared to eat about a million tonnes of spinach A lot of numbers but really puts what is happening in some sort of proportion. Looking forward to cheap Pacific tuna as demand plummets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
