Japan Nuclear Accident

[William Duffy <duffywi@ucs.orst.edu>]

ABC.com has posted the following in their latest article regarding the
accident.

 "The amount of radiation in the area was many times
  more than would be normal. The radiation, quoted in a
  common radiation measurement known as Sieverts, was
  said to be 3-4 millimeters an hour, compared to the
  normal rate of one millimeter per year."

Cudos to the media once again.
