Radiation levels almost 90 times Chernobyl evacuation limits found in unevacuated Fukushima school zone at a level so high it is lethal to 100% of the population within 15 years.
Greenpeace has dangerous levels of radiation levels in Fukushima in areas not being evacuated by the Government of Japan according to the Japan Times. Radiation levels of 45 microsieverts per hour were found alongside a school zone in Fukushima.
According to the Japan Times the evacuation threshold for Chernobyl was set at 5,000 microsieverts per year while the 45 microsievert per hour level detected equates to an annual dosage of almost 400,000 microsieverts per year.
For comparison a 4 sievert dose is deterministically known to be lethal to 50% of the entire exposed population and those living in the area in question would reach that dose in about 10 years. Residents in the area would receive a 6 sievert, which is deterministically known to be lethal to 100% of the population, within in about 15 years. The threshold hold for children, unborn fetuses and the elderly population is obviously much smaller and as such these levels of radiation would be lethal in a much shorter period of time.
NOTE: Japan Gov already admit 45% of Fukushima children have thyroid radiation, that means they WILL get thyroid cancer.
