NRC Increases Estimated "background" Doses to Radiation again

When Chernobyl happened NRC and the radiation establishment raised what they claimed is “background” radiation from 80-100 to 360 mr/year.

Note: This includes natural and manmade.

Now as Fukushima continues melting…NRC is claiming it is 620 mr/year.

The terrestrial and cosmic Natural radiation IS only about 60-80 mr/year (of course with variations on altitude and geology)

Then they add radon (largest amount >50% of estimated total) and medical and consumer goods and more to increase the so-called background.

This press release came out in advance of NRC press conference March 21, 2011 Mon AM.
