Question: How does radiation released from Fukushima compare with Fat Man and Little Boy
fallout? http://www.quora.com/How-does-radiation-released-from-Fukushima-compare-with-Fat-Man-and-Little-Boy-fallout http://tinyurl.com/4x9buue Final paragraph of the answer(dated March 29): "Overall, the radioactive risk is scenario dependent. Chernobyl was probably as bad as a very large/dirty nuclear weapon, i.e. a weapon where fission created megatons of energy. Fukushima, at worst, would probably be on the order of a ~20 kiloton detonation in the air (as far as radiation in the US) - which is really not of any concern at all. It is certainly measurable, but not enough to create any sort of health risk (based upon all previous data)." Harry
