Your press has made a huge blunder in unit conversion and reporting. It appears everyone is copying the same mistake.

The units for radiation released earlier in Japan were in μSv (microsievert).

Your press is reporting it as mSv (millisievert) or converting that into the old unit, rems.

Take the value of mSv or rems reported and divide that by 1,000 to get the real amount.

You probably don't appreciate the subtle humor of biting the head off a bat either.

Ozzy Osbourne's kids went to the same primary school as me. I kissed the eldest daughter, Amy, at a disco when I was about 10.

er...sorry...carry on.

They NEED to get iodine pills to keep the particles out of our system.

Which would do absolutely nothing in the case of radiation exposure.

I'm on the east coast...but why are there concerns of radiation hitting the west coast? the powerplant failures I doubt are as bad as the 2 atomic bombs we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and no one over on the west coast was effected, no?

because the medai needs to hype this up as much as they can.

 i think rolex has stated in other threads that what we're hearing in the us is totally different than what they're hearing........?
