    "Close to the reactor, you would normally receive a dose of about three units - called microsieverts - every hour. But on Thursday, that jumped to 65 microSv/hrs - about five times more than you would get on one transatlantic flight." https://web.archive.org/web/20220225165134/https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60528828 https://web.archive.org/web/20220225165134/https://www.bbc.c... 65 microSv or 65 µSv is a really trivial amount. It should inspire a yawn not a yikes. https://xkcd.com/radiation/ https://xkcd.com/radiation/

      Doesn’t sound trivial. You go on enough high altitude flights, you will suffer cellular damage- and this dose is occurring daily. Furthermore, this current situation could easily worsen if further damage is done to the nuclear plants.

  "The rise was caused by heavy military vehicles stirring contaminated soil in the 4,000-sq-km (2,485 sq-mile) exclusion zone surrounding the abandoned plant, Ukraine's State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate reported ." Seems it was not from the shelling.
