Isn't it ironic?

The current radiation levels at NAF Atsugi: minimum detectable by instruments, .01 mr/hr

Check out this chart from xkcd: Radiation Dose Chart

So those people who left Japan and flew on a commercial airliner to America, you just received 400x the radiation levels you would if you lived within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant for a year!

Don't you think?

That's exactly what I thought!!! I was totally think of you and Ann today while listening to the broadcast. I'm not sure if you listened to the broadcast but it's pretty funny when they do the sound comparison. : )

Yes, it is. It's even more ironic (or poorly-timed) that James received 40x the background dose of radiation during his kidney fx tests on his birthday. Irradiated are we!
