(NaturalNews) I've seen a lot of lousy, inaccurate reporting
from the mainstream media over the years, but some of the
reporting we're seeing now on the Fukushima catastrophe is just
astonishing in its ignorance of basic physics. Today, the Boston
Globe published a story containing this whopper:Nuclear safety
spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama says the air above the leak
contains 1,000 millisiverts of radioactivity. For starters, even
the unit is spelled incorrectly. It's not "millisiverts" but
rather "millisieverts." But that's a small issue compared to the
bigger one. Millisieverts describe a measured dose of received
radiation. Exposure to millisieverts only makes sense in the
context of this nuclear catastrophe when it is measured over
time . In other words, it makes no sense to say "the air has 500
millisieverts of radiation." That's a complete nonsense
sentence. The correct statement is that a person standing in
that area would be exposed to "500 millisieverts of radiation
PER HOUR." Without the unit of time,
