@davidwielandnl This is EU's agencies official data, to be compared with JP's official data available in one of these links: http://bit.ly/gwAMqV http://bit.ly/hgKrhW http://bit.ly/f9dCrS (GreenPeace said today their measurements agreed with JP officia

@davidwielandnl Read the disclaimer on that website; they are using consumer-grade detectors with +/-30% accuracy for high dose rates (http://bit.ly/hJq6cV)

I got my info here: http://metropolis.co.jp/quake/quake-2011-03/tokyo-atmospheric-radiation-levels/

According to this graph: http://bit.ly/g7crbB the level in Tokyo is barely 0.15μSv, so 150nSv.

I thought current levels in Tokyo are 0.3 μSv (microsievert) or 300 (nSv) nanosievert. Radiations in this map are lower: 100-200 nanosievert (which is really trace amounts).

@Mikegio123 Unfortunately US publish data in cpm http://bit.ly/hL9512 (not easy to compare); but US isn't diff

I'd like to see a map like this for the US. Does one exist? It would help my mother stop panicking.

@paboseki Si te refieres al punto verde: medidor instalado en el CIEMAT (Ciudad Univ); http://bit.ly/fk9z35

¿Qué es el punto que está más o menos por Madrid?

@divomylove Most radioactive places on Earth are usually coal mines & related industry + granite-rich mountains

@divomylove Another ex. (orange dot in PT, which has no NPP): N.P. of Serra da Etrela's granite mountains
daniel_garcia_r 423 days ago
@divomylove Btw, you can see NPP locations by using "layer manager" at EURDEP; won't find highest values there.
daniel_garcia_r 423 days ago
@divomylove No, that orange point in the middle of FR is Montluçon, old mining (bit of U, essentially coal) town
divomylove 423 days ago
is orange dot of France near the nuclear plant?
daniel_garcia_r 423 days ago
That means above current "Tokyo accidental levels" (~ 110 nSv/h) : http://bit.ly/g7crbB or http://bit.ly/hgKrhW
daniel_garcia_r 423 days ago
As you can see, millions of Europeans live with bkground dose rate levels between 100 - 200 nSv/h (green dots)
