Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1295673 Namie, Iitate exposed to radiation doses within 10 to 50 millisievertsRadiation doses to individuals from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis were the largest within a dose band of 10 to 50 millisieverts in the town of Namie and the village of Iitate in Fukushima Prefecture, the World Health Organization said Wednesday in a preliminary estimate. [ link to english.kyodonews.jp] . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11432405 This is misleading. 50 millisieverts is the nuclear worker annual exposure. These people have also ingested radiation in water and food. They have also breathed it in unknown concentrations. The total amount from exposure and ingestion is unknown.. Until comprehensive medical evaluation is done, we won't know. Even then, will they tell the truth? ~
