More about the danger of what's happening in Fukushima

Hourly, the Fukushima plant is letting off around 1,015 microsievert of radiation – which is the equivalent of what people are usually allowed to take in over an entire year. While it's not immediately dangerous due to current nuclear plant design, some experts (most notably Columbia University's disaster-preparedness expert Dr. Irwin Redlener) have noted that the levels of radiation being put out could raise the risk of thyroid cancer in nearby residents later on. "I would personally absolutely not want to be inside," Redlener said, noting that the levels would be much higher. The government is urging people to stay calm, while keeping them away.
