The one day dose (~3.6 mSv) at two sites near Fukushima if fairly constant for the time since the disaster is already at the one year dose limit for a Radiation worker and if it continues for a month would be over the one year dose clearly linked to cancer risk, but would have been absorbed in only a month. It seems misleading that it is colored green since we have no way of knowing how long the level of radiation will remain high in that area.Jack Prestonhttp://jpreston@earthlink.netnoreply@blogger.com
