- tptacek 16y agoThat can't possibly be right, can it?
- jedsmith 16y agoIt would certainly explain the evacuation. Edano said "1,000 milli-Sieverts" had been measured last night, but that it was down to under 800 now, and that at the gate the measurements were now in the milli- range as well (hence the evacuation). TEPCO is not exactly being forthcoming about Dai-ichi, but they're being really proactive in telling us the same exact thing about Daini every hour: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/index-e.html http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/index-e.htm...
- pauldino 16y agoActually the BBC does seem wrong in that it is reporting 1000 millisieverts rather than microsieverts.

Those are Edano's words, not the BBC's. I was told above that he was corrected by another person and that various translations have it as a different figure, but that isn't in the linked video.
