W pewnych rejonach Brazylii, Indii, czy Iranu moce dawki są znacznie większe i dochodzą do 35 mSv/rok (Kerala, Indie lub Guarapari, Brazylia), a nawet do 260 mSv/rok (Ramsar, Iran).

Czytałem komentarze pod tym artykułem i musiałem nieco przewijać żeby znaleźć coś wartościowego.
Please keep in mind when reading comments from the “experts” quoted above is that almost every one of them have been anti-nuke for years and are far from unbiased. For instance, Arnie Gundersen does not work for Vermont Yankee: he works for himself as an “expert” on the problems with nuclear power and gets paid handsomely for doing so. He had a very typical and mundane career in nuclear power and passes himself off as an expert. I have also had a typical and mundane nuclear career and would not claim to be an expert, but perhaps can shed some light.
None of the spent fuel rods are lost. I think people are confused by the statement that they are now “outside”. What blew off the reactor building was the metal panel structure on top of the concrete containment. What was once the refueling area floor is now the roof of the building. The spent fuel pool is like a deep swimming pool with its edge level to the floor (now roof) with about ten feet of water above the fuel rod assemblies. I doubt that water was blown out of the pools or that they were seriously damaged. The energy in these hydrogen/steam explosions was directed up and out. Also, water is extremely difficult to displace from an explosion occurring from above. The 24 hour boil off period also sounds suspect. I believe it is more in the range of a week.
No question though that they need to keep water in the pool and that this situation will be very problematic if cooling isn’t maintained. The good part is that they just need to keep the pool filled for the time being and since it is an open pool they do not need to pump against system pressure. The downside is that they need to get the water to an upper elevation and may not have an intact piping system to do so. They could even use something as basic as a fire truck pumper and hoses as long as they could still access the refueling floor.
