On your mark, get set, start your Geiger counters.
The more the merrier.

What numbers will they
What numbers will they double next????
Oh yeah these...
From 2009
Collectively, Americans now receive more than twice as much radiation each year as in the 1980s. That’s according to a new tally by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.

Following the door opening,
Following the door opening, a total of 1.6 billion becquerels of radioactive materials are estimated to be released outside the building, compared with 500 million becquerels when the double door at the No. 1 reactor building was opened last month, they said.
Still, a total of
Still, a total of 1,600,000,000 becquerels is better than the 154,000,000,000,000 becquerels per day estimated for April 5, Around 100,000 times less for the potential release now.
154,000,000,000,000
1,600,000,000
Radioactive material was being released into the atmosphere from the plant at an estimated rate of 154 terabecquerels per day as of April 5, according to data released by the Cabinet Office's Nuclear Safety Commission on Saturday.

NISA doubles early fallout estimate
Kyodo
NISA on Monday more than doubled its estimate of the radioactive material ejected into the air in the early days of the Fukushima nuclear crisis to 770,000 terabecquerels.

The article I quote does not
The article I quote does not include NISA estimate, but the one released on April 25 by the Cabinet Office's Nuclear Safety Commission, which was closer to the 770,000 terabecquerels.
The total amount of radioactive material discharged from the plant from March 11 to early April was estimated between 370,000 and 630,000 terabecquerels, according to government sources.
The commission, however, said the figures were estimates only, "with a considerable margin of error."
Atmospheric radiation leak underestimated
But anyway, if the releases during the early days were even higher, the comparison with the potential release when they open the doors at No 2 is even more pronounced.
Yep. I'm thinking we haven't
Yep. I'm thinking we haven't seen the end of this doubling yet.
It's amazing to me they have only collected the expected, super-low-ball , "harmless" amounts of radiation in the samples here.
We are talking about 5,000
We are talking about 5,000 miles after all.
I thought diffusion was a
I thought diffusion was a law for a reason? Do these vapors released not apply to gas laws?
I don't know anything about
I don't know anything about the diffusion law, does it render 5,000 miles irrelevant?

WOW! What is everyone doing
WOW!
What is everyone doing in anticipation of this?
What can we do ??
What can we do ? We have to breath air ?
