This is especially true if the government requires zero radioactive material to appear in the sea water. So any accidental discharge is going to have some scary multiplier over the near zero levels. The media also seem to also like the Becquerel scale along with cm³ instead of m³ to make the numbers extra scary. I found an interesting article that describes some safe levels and also the calculation of Becquerel to Sieverts. http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110321p2a00m0na006000c.html http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110321p2a00m0na006000c...
