Ambient office = 108 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 111 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 109 nanosieverts per hour
A state-owned nuclear technology company in China has announced that it is starting mass production of a world-first chip that can detect radiation. The announcement adds to the long list of semiconductor related breakthroughs that have come from the China in the past few years.
Ambient office = 99 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 116 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 113 nanosieverts per hour
John Ketchum is the CEO of NextEra Energy. He says that “There are only a few nuclear plants that can be recommissioned in an economic way, and newer technologies like small modular reactors remain financially infeasible.”

Previous attempts to exceed the Greenwald limit often resulted in reduced plasma confinement or complete loss of fusion reactions. The success of the GA team in achieving both high density and strong confinement allows new possibilities for designing more efficient and reliable fusion reactors.
