But all this is stupid, it is up to us to change all this bad things, Nuclear Energy, burning the last Jungle, Uranium Mining in Oz and Canada, Fracking und Fluoridation of the Water Supply in the US all this need to change! Realization, Analyzation and Education is needed! There is no massive increased Radioactivity in the Global Scale because of Fukushima, the problem is relative Local! Please educate yourself and stop to listen to the Fearmongols and Shiteheadz, this are the real Shills who do not want that you, you and you waking up! Yes you are right, i aplogize my inmaturity lashing out at you. and yes, it's really the money trails from the GE owners of TEPCO, and the YEN trails, to a dark cabal, and the corruption, and of course, just HOW, was the the (DOUBLE 9.2 EARTHQUAKE) INITIATED)? what do you believe? |

C'mon, discuss at least on a Level which is normal for the Kindergarten and not that cheap, Fluoride-Victim! Ok, i never did state, that 'Cosmic radiation" is not existent, or that it is similar to the reading offered, on that meter pictured, onset of thread. my issue is this: TEPCO OWNERS, MONEY TRAILS, AND ELITE CABAL, BLEW SOMETHING UP, UNDER YOUR COUNTRY, OFF SHORE. AND THE RESULT IS: 10,000'S OF DEATHS, IN JAPAN, disablement and radiation sickness to your neighbors BABIES, CHILDREN,...and polluted PACIFIC WATERS. salmon, crab, and other fishing, shrimp, radioactive at levels that sicken the uneducated consumers. and a corporate led, fascist led, TEPCO SCANDAL, that merely attempts, to cover it all up. AND IT IS ALREADY PROVEN, that numerous airlines personnel, have been sickened, have had to be fired, and now have radiation illness, of all kinds. Your document, has MERIT, but what the initial concept here is, the reality, of hot particles, STUCK, in airline filtration systems, lack of maintenance, ignorance of testing for it, and a evil global cabal, that is hell bent, on attempting any kind of disaster that kills human life!

AlterEgo (OP) User ID: 42676657 Germany 07/02/2013 01:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1,200 CPM on the meter (for Cs137) is about 1 mR/hr (milliRad per hour). Quoting: AlterEgo Days to receive dose for increase cancer risk of 1 in a 1,000 432 (at 100 CPM) 86 (at 500 CPM) 28 (at 1,500 CPM) 4 (at 10,000 CPM) Days compared with the avg. annual human exposure (U.S.) 207 (at 100 CPM) 42 (at 500 CPM) 14 (at 1,500 CPM) 2 (at 10,000 CPM) So not so shocking afterall? This is due to increased cosmic radiation due to flying high into the atmosphere of the Earth with less atmospheric shielding in place. This is not new knowledge; you can equate ~1000 cpm to ~ 1 mR/hr (very roughly) -- the average person on Earth receives 600 mR/year (pre Fukushima data of course) which equates to .07 mR/hr - so this particular flight was experiencing 10x background. For clarity's sake: say one flies 15 times in a year at 3 hrs a flight at 10x background radiation levels seen here. Their total flight exposure for the year would be 1 mR/hr x 45 hrs = 45 mR/hr + 610.7 mR average background for the remainder of the year for a total of 656 mR , an increase of 9% for the course of the year - negligible results. I believe that pilots and flight attendants wear radiation film badges so that their exposures can be monitored by FAA Radiation Safety Officers -- in this case if they were in the air 50% of the year (which of course they are not)they would have a result of ~4000 mR/yr = 4.0 REM/year which is still under the allowed exposure set by the NRC for workers - which in itself has an embeded safety factor. DOT allows radiation transport measurements up to 2 mR/hr in the cab of the carrier vehicle. Also, Id like to see if this instrument is properly calibrated.... Not shilling just stating the facts. Thanks for your answer. |

AlterEgo (OP) User ID: 42676657 Germany 07/02/2013 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another alarmist thread from an OP that knows bugger all about radiation that occurs in the natural world. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7093074 How many mR/hr (alpha,beta,gamma,or x ray) could be considered unsafe for continuous exposure? A First of all, the units, mR/hr apply only to gamma or x radiation. However, the same question could be posed in terms of dose equivalent rate, mrem/hr, which is applicable to all types of ionizing radiation. As a matter of reference, an exposure of 1 mR gamma or x radiation results in a dose equivalent of approximately 1 mrem (with a small variation depending upon the energy and irradiation conditions). The current regulatory occupational exposure limit in the United States is 5000 mrem per year. If continuous exposure is interpreted as 2000 working hours per year, this translates into 2.5 mrem/hr for radiation workers. However, occupational exposures should be kept as low as reasonably achievable with 5000 mrem/yr as a regulatory upper limit. This does not necessarily mean that radiation does in excess of 5000 mrm/yr are unsafe for radiation workers, but this is the limit applied for regulatory purposes. Because of factors such as the general population being more heterogeneous and containing individuals of all ages and conditions of health, the regulatory limit is lower than for occupational exposure. The limit for radiation delivered in addition to the natural background radiation to individuals of the general public is 500 mrem in any one year and 100 mrem/yr on a prolonged basis. If we interpret continuous exposure as 8766 hours per year (24 hrs/day x 365.25 days/yr), 100 mrem/yr translates to 0.011 mrem/hr or 11 microrem/hr. This would be in addition to the natural background radiation which is quite variable but which averages about 300 mrem/yr or 34 microrem/hr. This does not necessarily mean that radiation doses in excess of 500 mrem in a single year of 100 mrem on a prolonged basis are unsafe when added to the pre-existing natural background but rather these are the limits accepted for regulatory purposes.

The highest rates were 0.66 mrem per hour during a Paris-Tokyo flight and 0.97 mrem per hour on the Concorde in 1996-1997. The corresponding annual effective dose, based on 700 hours of flight for subsonic aircraft and 300 hours for the Concorde, can be estimated at between 200 mrem for the least exposed routes and 500 mrem for the more exposed routes.

Aren't airplane cabins pressurized with self contained oxygen? So the radiation penetrates the aircraft? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36177804 No, and cosmic radiation is not some airborne substance that you breathe in. It will penetrate the skin of the aircraft directly. Our thick atmosphere normally attenuates it (and technically so does the aircraft's skin), but much of the atmospheric attenuation is lost when you're flying at altitude. |
