Radiation at 1km from a Nuclear Reactor. Lesson 1012. Why Is the Radiation So Low?
Multiple shielding barriers(steel, concrete, water).
Strict regulatory limits:Reactors must keep public exposure< 0.01 mSv/year(IAEA standards).
Real-world data:
France’s Flamanville EPR reactor:0.001 mSv/year at fence line.
US reactors:Average0.002 mSv/yearto nearest residents.
3. Radiation Compared to Everyday Sources
Source Radiation Dose 1 1km from nuclear reactor (yearly) 0.0001–0.01 mSv 2 Natural background (yearly) 2.4 mSv 3 Smoking 20 cigs/day (yearly) 53 mSv (from polonium-210 in tobacco) 4 CT scan (one full-body) 10–20 mSv 5 Living in Cornwall, UK (yearly, due to granite) 7.8 mSv Note:Nuclear workers at reactors receive~1–5 mSv/year—still far below harmful levels (100 mSv/year is the lowest linked toanycancer risk increase).

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 including our Australia Media condone peddle the LIES from the Greens?
