they always make it sound like a sunburn or, oh well, after this exposure you just gotta lay low and avoid radiation for some time and then your back in balance, lol... thats not how it works... you can get exposed to a LOT of radiation throughout your life, but if you get exposed to all of this at once youd die in an instant...

so i really hate those "as much radiation as usually within x timeframe" numbers, thats pure nonsense trying to make it sound less serious...

id radiation levels were THIS high far out on the pacific ocean, then damn!
20km evacuation radius sounds ridiculous... the wins just have to change slightly and things get real ugly... :S
Ever taken a radiography? You may be exposed to months worth of background radiation in just a couple of seconds. Yet even doctors prescribe it
The current events in the two nuclear plants shouldn't be overdramatized - this ain't no where near a chernobyl type release (more like 10000-times smaller) where workers got lethal doses of radiation within minutes of exposure.
Especially when you have thousands and thousands of people nearby without food, water and shelter.
