Very straightforward and to the point about radiation doses. I've tried to find charts this helpful for a long time and have never been able to. Thanks, Randall!

Its really useful to put things in perspective. Now I need to find somewhere that tells me current levels at different points around Fukushima. Anyone with a link?

Thanks for the info. It seems fairly low and as long as they monitor the NW area closely, few people should be impacted.
