 This is a fact-sheet with a summary of the latest reliable information on developments with the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
Fukushima General Facts
- Fukushima Reactors are a better design than Chernobyl's
- Maximum allowable exposure for U.S. radiation workers: 50 mSv per year
- Average exposure of U.S. residents from natural and man-made radiation sources: 6.2 mSv per year
- Estimated total exposure at the boundary of the Three Mile Island site during the 1979 accident there: 1 mSv or less
- Average total radiation dose to the 114,500 individuals evacuated during the 1986 Chernobyl disaster: 31 mSv
- Half-life of iodine 131, a dangerous radioactive isotope released in nuclear accidents: 8 days
- Half-life of cesium 137, another major radionuclide released in nuclear accidents: 30 years
- Decay products of iodine 131 and cesium 137: gamma rays and beta particles (electrons or positrons)
- Amount of nuclear fuel in the Chernobyl 4 reactor that exploded in 1986: 190 metric tons
- Estimated nuclear fuel and fission by-products released into the atmosphere during Chernobyl disaster: 25 to 57 metric tons
- Approximate amount of nuclear fuel in each crippled Fukushima Daiichi reactor: 70 to 100 metric tons
- We are exposed to 6 microsievert/hour at 35,000 feet during intercontinental flights
