Bloomberg (April 1)

2011/ 04/ 03 by jd in Global News

Many concerns over radiation are overblown. In Tokyo, the highest radiation reading of 0.109 microsieverts per hour was taken yesterday in the Shinjuku district. This compares favorably with 0.14 microsieverts in Hong Kong’s Kowloon district. In fact, “many countries have naturally occurring radiation levels that exceed Tokyo’s.” Current radiation in Tokyo is “barely above levels in London and New York.”
