| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous. Join our community today! |

I do art sometimes. "if you want green eat a salad" Projects: Amammalia: A strange place where mammals didn't make it and the land is, once again, dominated by archosaurs. Oceanus: An endless sea dotted with islands, reefs, and black holes. Literally endless, literal black holes. ❤️❤️~I'm not a boy~❤️❤️ | |

250 millisieverts is the highest exposure level that is harmless. Around the plant itself, it was around 1000. Now, "Iodine-131 has a half-life of only 8 days" so that's gone anyway. Caesium-137 lasts longer, having a half-life of 30 years. There was about 50% of the Chernobyl emissions' worth of this. But anyway, the radiation level even in Japan was barely anything above the normal level on the 30th of March. You are perfectly safe. |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Actually there has not been a lot of research on very low dosage exposure, but it's probably not just a simple "the less you get the less dangerous it is" and there is a drop-off point. |

Well yeah. It's unpredictable. But the probability is almost the same as when you're in an area which has never been graced with the presence of a fission plant. |
