Putting the radiation levels at Fukushima into perspective — with Current Fukushima levels are reported as 400mSv, 1 mSv (milli sieverts) = 1000 uSv (micro sieverts), http://gakuranman.com/great-tohoku-earthquake/#liv

@collettesnowden It's on logarithmic scale...

totally misleading image as distance between 1&10: 10&100: 100&1,000 appear the same, very wrong.

why the brazilian flag?

In response to nisekos. You are right. This image shows single values. The current values in Japan are being given in hours (that means you need to be exposed for a whole hour to receive that amount of radiation). Check my blog for more details.

great idea but you need to distinguish between mSv and mSv per unit time (hour, day or year)

Max was 11930 microsieverts, that's 11930.0 mSv Peak. Not Sv as stated above!

Gakuranman.com is doing live updates on the situation http://gakuranman.com/great-tohoku-earthquake/

The figure in question at 9.00am is 11930.0uSv - micro - in other words it is 11.9mSv.

In response to oneoliner, this is the latest report by TEPCO http://www.tepco.co.jp/cc/press/betu11_j/images/110315e.pdf

I suggest you lookup 11930Sv on the above chart.

Tokyo (CNN) reported highest radiation levels at Fukushima gate as 11mSv max and now down to 0.6mSv. A far cry from 400mSv. Who's right?
