生活之中到处都是辐射

对于2011年的福岛核事故来讲，外界普遍预计现场员工的患癌率将提高1%，并且周围居民的患癌率也将略有增加。回想一下，相较于实际增加的0%至1%的风险，我们自1945年以来承受了多少关于核安全方面的担忧和恐惧啊！如果这并不足以使你对自己原本对于辐射的了解产生那么一点儿怀疑的话，那么请思考一下，即使在日本福岛核事故发生后，核电站工人的因公死伤比率也低于房地产中介和股票经纪人的因公死伤比率。

Here's the truth about you and radiation: There's no reason to worry about power-plant meltdowns or airport scanners, where the X-rays have been replaced by millimeter wave machines. And don't worry about those radioactive everyday items. By scientific measures, the average American gets 620 millirems of radiation each year, half from background exposure, and that number needs to reach 100,000 to be worrisome.

关于人类和核辐射的真相在于：你没有理由去担心核电站的堆芯熔毁或机场的扫描仪，机场的X光扫描仪现在已经被毫米波扫描仪所取代了。你也不需要担心日常生活中具有放射性的物体。科学测量结果显示，普通美国人每年受到的辐射为620毫仑目，其中一半属于天然本底辐射，而低于100,000毫仑目的辐射完全不需要担心。

Instead of fretting about these things, have your basement tested for radon. Monitor how many nuclear diagnostics and treatments, from X-rays to CT scans, you and your family get. Use sunscreen. And follow the advice of the woman who defined 'radioactivity,' Marie Curie: 'Now is the time to understand more, so that we fear less.'
