Radiation at 1km from a Nuclear Reactor.Radiation Levels Near a Modern Nuclear Reactor (1km Away) vs. Everyday Exposure
1. Radiation at 1km from a Nuclear Reactor
Modern reactors (e.g., AP1000, EPR, or CANDU designs) are heavily shielded, and their radiation emissions at 1km are extremely low—often indistinguishable from natural background levels.
Typical measured dose: 0.0001–0.01 millisieverts (mSv) per year (depending on reactor design and monitoring).
For comparison:
Natural background radiation (global avg.): 2.4 mSv/year (from rocks, cosmic rays, radon).
Chest X-ray: 0.1 mSv per scan.
Transatlantic flight: 0.05–0.1 mSv (due to cosmic rays at altitude).
Key Fact: Standing 1km from a reactor for a year exposes you to less radiation than eating a banana (which contains potassium-40, a natural radioactive isotope).

I have a question! So why do the Greens continue to spread LIES & DECEPTION to the Australian public.
And WHY do both the Australian Labor Party & their Union affiliates condone the LIES from the Greens?
