The equation is often used to provide radiation readings in models across a number of disciplines including agriculture, ecology and meteorology. Read more at Murdoch University.

In the areas of Japan I visited, radiation dose rates were elevated to about three to four times typical natural radiation dose rates (which are about .1 mrem per hour), but nowhere near as high ...

The following equation calculates the rate of conduction: Q = [k · A · (T hot – T cold)]/d. ... What is Radiation? Thermal radiation generates from the emission of electromagnetic waves.

Procedures that the Fukushima nuclear plant workers would be following to deal with high R=radiation dose rates (like the high readings of 40 REM/hr) – move to an area with a lower dose rate.

Some radiation exposure is unavoidable. The average American gets 360 millirems of radiation a year by doing mundane activities such as eating bananas and sleeping next to another person.
