There are a number of scientists who believe that the less radiation you have in your life, the better; the lower your candidacy for radiation related issues (i.e. cancer). Arnie Gundersen of FaireWinds.org is one such individual. One acronym in the video below is B.E.I.R. BEIR Biological Efects of Ionizing Radiation states that radiation exposure and cancer are linear: the more radiation you are exposed to, the greater your likelihood of contracting cancer. |
| Examples cited in the video: 100 REM (1 Sv) Exposure = 1/10 chance of contracting cancer 10 REM (100 mSv) = 1/100 chances of contracting cancer 1 REM (10 mSv) = 1/1000 chances of contracting cancer The Japanese government is currently encouraging its citizens to return to areas where the exposure rate will be 2 REM (20 mSv) |
