2. 10% more radiation?

Quote from article: "—roughly one tenth the average daily dose most Americans experience,"

10% here, another 10% there, pretty soon you're up to 20% more.

Not only that, but the chemical pollution of the artificial radiating particles effects on life forms is unknown.

However the Mayo clinic has an idea:

The severity of signs and symptoms of radiation sickness depends on how much radiation you’ve absorbed. How much you absorb depends on the strength of the radiated energy and the distance between you and the source of radiation. Signs and symptoms also are affected by the type of exposure — such as total or partial body and whether contamination is internal or external — and how sensitive to radiation the affected tissue is. For instance, the gastrointestinal system and bone marrow are highly sensitive to radiation.”

Diarrhea, Headache, Fever, Weakness, fatigue, Hair loss, bloody vomit and stools, infections, poor wound healing, low blood pressure are signs of radiation poisoning. —Mayo Clinic
