Estimates of Possible Exposure Define US Evacuation Zone
The American Embassy recommended on March 17 that Americans within 50 miles of the Fukushima reactors evacuate. The recommendation was based on an analysis by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that predicts possible radiation levels assuming conditions at the plant degrade. It is not based on current radiological conditions. It includes factors like whether containment vessels remain intact and weather patterns, among others. Here are the results of the analysis on March 16
In addition the dose becomes constant at 10 rems away and therefore the whole planet undergoes 10 rems, dose received by each human being in his life in reality !!
This fact proves that this map is meaningless and based on nothing real, an imaginary assessment, probably copied from Chernobyl.
See GreenPeace with a valid accurate evaluation which is not negligible but which did not kill the population of 1 million Japanese in a few days !!

The official info does not speak of time apart from a year and that one can eat the fish raised in this 100 times radioactive water !!!
A lie, because the details of the complex dose calculation are not given, but probably forgetting the effect of huge concentration of iodine in the thyroid !!!
And we will talk about excess thyroid disease in Japan in 10 years !!

Low radioactive water released to sea
Tokyo Electric Power Company is releasing radioactive wastewater into the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as part of efforts to stabilize the troubled plant.
The utility started releasing 11,500 tons of wastewater on Monday evening.
The company says the level of iodine-131 in the wastewater is about 100 times the legal limit. But the plant operator says if people ate fish and seaweed caught near the plant every day for a year, their radiation exposure would be 0.6 millisievert. It adds the annual permissible level for the general public is one millisievert.
Wastewater will be released to make room for highly contaminated water from the No.2 reactor complex.
Radioactive water 100,000 times the normal level in an operating reactor has been found in the turbine building. This is also hammering efforts to cool the damaged reactors.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says the government approved the operation plan, as removing the water from the No.2 reactor is a more urgent matter.
Edano calls the operation an emergency measure to ensure the safety of the plant. He adds that the government told the utility to monitor radioactivity in the seawater and closely track the environmental impact.
