| 2. I really hope they meant microsieverts instead of millisieverts. |
|
That's horrifying if it's milli.

If it was mili there would be nobody alive onsite and one would imagine that would be breaking news.
Seems to happen a lot.
I wish instead they would just use mili.
3.3mSv. Then there is no confusion.

| 10. That's one lethal dose in 3 hours, not 20 minutes. |
|
Lethal dose is 10Sv, not 1 Sv, 1Sv is the set point for radiation sickness.
3.3Sv/hr * 3hr = 9.9Sv
