I was just reading that the people who are fleeing Tokyo by plane due to fear of radiation are exposing themselves to more radiation than if they stayed in Tokyo.
Largest increase in background radiation recorded in Tokyo: 1 microsievert per hour
Average increase in background radiation when flying: 5 microsieverts per hour of flight (about the equivalent of one chest x-ray per hour).
Oh the irony...
