Fukushima still putting out extremely high radiation

I've always found these nuclear accidents interesting

650 sieverts per hour is nuts.

The latest readings, taken six years after the Fukushima nuclear meltdown, showed 11 sieverts per hour, according to Japan Times. It is the highest radiation level detected in water inside the containment vessel and is extremely dangerous. Sievert is a unit measurement for a dose of radiation. One sievert is enough to cause illness if absorbed all at once, and 8 sieverts will result in death despite treatment,

Recently, an exploratory robot malfunctioned and died after being sent inside reactor 2, in mid-February, due to exposure to "unimaginable" levels of radiation, close to 650 sieverts per hour. The previous highest recorded level was 73 sieverts per hour
650 sieverts per hour is nuts.

Buncha smoothskins can't even tolerate the warm, basking embrace of nuclear radiation.

Well it'll be that way for quite some time. Really unfortunate

Estimates of when Chernobyl will once again be safe are as far away as 20,000 years, the Daily Mail reports. Yet reports from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone claim that animals have come back to the land. They have extremely high levels of radiation, but they have come back.
and that happend in 1986

The robot dying was discussed on Coast to Coast AM last month. Crazy stuff.

Damn, that's a lot. Ran an experiment last week and the samples were around .2mSv (max) after being in the neutron beam. Even then we still didn't touch anything by hand until they were below 100microSv, tongs and tweezers

We always did need more Godzilla vs. movies

Akimov should have just left. Dyatlov was unfit to man the job, but his promotion was symptomatic of the Soviet system.

a lot of people were refusing to take flights to Narita after that, they called me up one night before I was supposed to go to CDG and asked if I would go NRT, I said sure, why not, we were delayed about an hour for radiation testing of the aircraft, that had just come from there, it was about three times the normal level, no complaints yet, the old lady kind of likes the third ball

Didn't someone here already debunk a lot of this article as sensationalism in another thread?

Guys who work in industrial radiography that use Iridium 192 and Cobalt 60 (both can easily cause fatal doses of gamma radiation) are only allowed a maximum dose of about 5% of a sievert ALL YEAR.
So yeah... you're talking crazy scary amounts of radiation.

One of the most courageous things I've ever heard of were the guys who volunteered to go into Fukushima and Chernobyl, knowing exactly what they were getting into and exactly what the consequences were going to be.

posted this before, so cliffs, fishing in the Bahamas with friends one week, one of the guys is diving(professional diver,) he's about 200 yards away, screaming for help, his two college buddies(I'd never met this guy until the trip,) on the boat are asking "did he say shark?" they just stood there, I jumped in with the life ring and went and got him, I almost drowned on the way back
