Summary

Description

English: Radiation Dose Chart by Randall Munroe as part of the webcomic xkcd (SVG version of [1]).

In response to concerns about the radioactivity released by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster:Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, and to remedy what he described as "confusing" reporting on radiation levels in the media, Munroe created a chart of comparative radiation exposure levels. The chart was rapidly adopted by print and online journalists in several countries, including being linked to by online writers for The Guardian^[1] and The New York Times.^[2] As a result of requests for permission to reprint the chart and to translate it into Japanese, Munroe placed it in the public domain, but requested that his non-expert status should be clearly stated in any reprinting.^[3]
