A surprised Gundersen reports 10 hot particles per day breathed in by the Japanese but Americans in Seattle breath in five. A hot particle is extremely dangerous as it causes damage in close proximity, usually, results in a necrotic spot in lungs, bones or digestive track where it is lodged in the body over time! Hot particles are not easily detected as they are miniscule in size and termed "fuel fleas" by Gundersen. Where's George Harrison when you need him to adapt his song to fit a new age as we're fated to "Living in a Radioactive World"!
