David David, that site is a pimp job for radiation! total effort to minimize!

The human body cannot be modeled as a bag of water with energy being deposited, which is the ICRP model.

Sorry for the insanely late reply. I only just now saw that request because I just remembered my great new nickname from you guys.

I know you'll never trust anything I say, like how the Tokyo Area only got 4mrem total following the incident, or how eating a "contaminated" Pacific Salmon will net you, over 70 days, the same amount of radiation exposure as living for ONE MINUTE due to natural sources, so I'm calling for an assist here:

Post your data from Japan

40 millirem annually - not 40 microsieverts. Your units are wrong. 40 millirem is 400 microsieverts, ~390 of which, or 39 millirem, is due to K-40.
Being in Tokyo, I received only a fraction more radiation from Fukushima compared to what I was getting from cosmic/solar radiation.

Humans are "used to potassium..." So you're saying you can get used to betas and gammas is like saying you can get used to stab-wounds.
Yes, the human body can recover from radiation, but it's not just potassium-caused radiation we can recover from.

Cesium and strontium radiation is also spread throughout the body, whereas potassium is a bit more centralized, meaning it more "focuses," the internal dose. Still, at least in the Tokyo area, internal dose was not a concern.
My data, as far as the internal dose in the Tokyo area, wasn't collected by TEPCO. It was collected by me; I was actually one of the guys helping to provide the US Government with their data, so I know when they are lying or not. Having access to various radiacs and giant boxes that measure your internal dose is quite wonderful.

Dude, potassium is bananas. And your units are off, internal exposure due to K is 40 microSv per year. The amount that people received in Japan cannot possibly be assume by any TEPCO or Gov reported "data" as they lie through their freaken teeth.

Humans are "used to" potassium, we evolved with it. It is evenly spread out in our cells and there are repair mechanisms. Not so with cesium, strontium and other crap that was "gifted" to the people of Japan.

Japan Gov was fine with kids getting a 50000 microseivert dose per year.

You want something better than bananas? How about ...

You want something better than bananas? How about how much you irradiate yourself due to K-40? 390 microSieverts a year, versus the 40 microSieverts the people of Tokyo got from Fukushima?

Oh, the guys at work are going to love this. I...

Oh, the guys at work are going to love this.

I've done the internal dose surveys, I've done them on myself, calibrated the equipment, and I was exposed to the plumes. I work on the USS George Washington, which was exposed to the plumes, and I know guys from the Reagan who did likewise. Despite my being military, I actually won't benefit from the nuclear industries financial dealings whatsoever. All you guys have done is improperly cite sources and make assumptions. Enough said.
