Although off topic, as Joette Public myself, my vote would be for the actual numbers in whatever units AND the numbers converted to average background radiation. Even those of us with nonscientific minds have a responsibility to educate ourselves and at least try to understand and/or check with those of you that are better educated. If all fails, the comparison to average background radiation might be helpful, but it alone does not provide an accurate picture of the situation, as explained by the previous poster. And we all, scientists and laymen alike, have a right to get the actual numbers. The environment belongs to all of us.
