One thing is certain about the human costs of the radiation leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan: they will pale in comparison to the catastrophic consequences of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered the crisis.

Not exact matches

It turns out that the thousands of feet of solid salt deposits and clay designed to protect against radiation leaks also protect the caverns from the background radiation constantly hitting Earth's surface.

The ongoing leaks from Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have raised concern that some workers and even the public could be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.

You reported the World Health Organization's predictions of health impacts from radiation leaks at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan (9 March, p 4).

Marine scientists have calculated that, based on all the radioactive particles released (or leaking) from Fukushima, a dose due to this most recent nuclear accident would add up to a total of roughly one microsievert (a unit of radiation exposure) of extra radiation — roughly one tenth the average daily dose most Americans experience, one fortieth the amount from a cross — North America flight and one one - hundredth the exposure from a dental x-ray.

Such material could be hidden inside a lead container, making the radiation levels leaking out too low for the Geiger counter to detect, or the guard might be 100 meters away from the source, allowing the intensity of the radiation to dissipate before it reaches the detector.

The good news is that iodine - 131 has a half - life of only 8 days, so any radiation from the Fukushima plant will be gone from the water within a couple of months once the leaks are stopped.

To maintain its ionization it requires about 80 % of the ionizing radiation from all OB stars in the Galaxy; this is presumably supplied by UV photons leaking from HII regions.

The outgoing longwave radiation is composed not just of the radiation that leaks through to the top from the warm lower layers, but also of the «cold» radiation emitted from the upper atmosphere.

There have been a host of efforts to describe Japan's earthquake and nuclear emergency, ranging from volumes of helpful graphics generated by The Times and other media to freelance efforts, including the «sonification» of a month of earthquake activity surrounding the great quake off Japan by Paul May and a chart by Randall Munroe comparing human radiation exposure from an array of sources — ranging from a banana to a mammogram to a leaking nuclear plant and «A Layman's Intro to Radiation» by Ellen McManis, who operates a research reactor at Reed College.

The levels of exposure to radiation following the leaks and explosions at the earthquake - damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in 2011 were so low that they led today to this important conclusion from experts convened in Vienna by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effect of Atomic Radiation:

a. it will mean radiation leaks are understood to be less dangerous than most non experts believe > less people will need to be evacuated from accident effected zones > the cost of accidents will decline > accident insurance cost will decline;

Once the radiation limits begin to be increased this should have a catalytic effect on reducing emissions: 1) it will mean radiation leaks are understood to be less dangerous that currently thought > less people evacuated from effected zones > reduced cost accident of accidents — reduced accident insurance cost; 2) population takes another look at the effects of radiation > gains an understanding it is much less harmful than they thought > fear subsides > less opposition > easier and less expensive to find sites supported by the people nearby > planning and sight approval costs come down over time

Once energy from CO2 and H2O begins to leak into outer space, LTE is violated, temperatures * must * fall until a more global thermal equilibrium is established with incoming thermal radiation and convection.
