Die übliche Panikmache einer Kernenergiegegner Truppe. Keine oder
falsche Informationen und sehr viele Vorwürfe. Die neuen PAGs von 2013
sollen die veralteten PAGs von 1992 ablösen.

Wie nicht anders zu erwarten, sind diese Aussagen schlichtweg falsch.
Die neuen PAGs enthalten Richtwerte für Evakuierung,
Schilddrüsenblockade und Umsiedlung.

Abhängig von den konkreten Umständen kann das sehr wohl sinnvoll sein.

Zahlenwerte habe ich keine gefunden sondern nur folgendes:
EPA is not proposing a specific drinking water PAG at this time. EPA has
established enforceable drinking water standards for radionuclides under
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). EPA recommends that to the extent
practicable, emergency measures for drinking water be based on the
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) for Radionuclides.
The Radionuclides Rule provides states with flexibility when responding
to radiological events. If a public water system exceeds the
radionuclides standard it must work to get back into compliance as soon
as feasible. States have the authority to determine if other corrective
actions are needed (e.g. providing alternative water).
