    if you live there for a year it’s 44000 μSv, or 44 mSv

    44 x 3 = 132 which is GREATER than 100

      You can’t compare exposure over 3 years to a limit for one year.

      Radiation damage depends on time period of exposure.

        the graph on the map is μSv/h

        using the crosshairs shows 29.88 μSv/h at the waterfront by the plant

        that is 0.02988 μSv/h = 261.7488 mSv/a

        so not a place I’d want to get food from to say the least

          Sure, just pick a completely different location to suit the conclusion you already made.

            You mean the location right next to where the water has been sitting for how many years now?

          That’s on land. Where a whole bunch of various radionuclides have concentrated and remain fixed in place.

          This “wastewater release” that’s being discussed is the release of low-intensity tritium that will immediately dilute into the whole ocean. You’re comparing apples to moonrocks. Completely different things.
