but right now from what i have read and understand, only six workers have received more than 100 mill ee verts, that s a unit we receive from natural sources 3 per year. it s larger than what we receive naturally. in contrast, the former soviet union sent a half million recovery workers to chernobyl to clean up the radiation damage. their average dose for the half million workers was 100 miss ee verts. even among the workers, there s only 6. what is the biggest threat right now from if nothing more happens and we ve had some people say the threat to
that s quite doable if you want to use that word. that s right. tell me about the workers. they are receiving a little bit higher levels and increased the allowable level for emergency workers. the allowable level in emergency was 100 units, miss ee verts and not being allowed to receive up to 260. for some workers involved in putting more and more water on burning reactor, they will be increasing their future risk of cancer perhaps up to about 1% right now. but the levels even among the workers are not of sufficient magnitude to cause radiation sickness. this is not chernobyl, in other words. chernobyl was a major radiation accident. the fire burned for ten days and radiation was released into the environment for ten days. the workers themselves received so much radiation that four of them 28 of them died within four months. it was just a massive amount of
