The effects from different levels of radiation:


200 mSv
The flight between Tokyo and New York release this amount of radiation in the air

2400 mSv
This is the amount of radiation people receive from their daily live

6900 mSv
This is the amount of radiation release from X-ray

100 Thousand or above mSv
In any area that has this amount of radiation, people will have very high chance to get cancer

3－ 5 millions mSv
In any area that has this amount of radiation, around half of people will die

7 - 10 millions mSv
In any area that has this amount of radiation, all people will die
