Interesting chart on radiation doses... Spoilered for size.
So. 8,000,000 bananas is a lethal dose!

Everyone loves a geeky diagram! 
We did our own check-lists for yearly radiation absorption in Year 9 Science classes and it worked out that we were getting roughly 3000 mSv per year. Then again, this was in the mid 90s, long before ubiquitous mobiles and laptops in every bag!

That's nice, but I can't see radiation so I don't know how much I'm being exposed to, do I?

If you see a lot of bananas, you should run.

Thanks for the chart! I was just reading up on Chernobyl, and this puts it in perspective.

it was done by the xkcd guy so you could work your way back that way?

It must have been a bananaphone and a bananalaptop. From the chart:
And that is µSv, not mSv... 3000 mSv would be 60 times the amount allowed for nuclear industry workers per year.
Unlike many media nuclear power accident defenders, the vast majority of the media wasn't "crying" about radiation. Instead, they were legitimately complaining about the lack of information being released and the obvious cover-up. Of course, amongst the defenders, like a few pundits at Fox News who instantly made themselves into experts, they tried to disseminate obvious falsehoods.
None of which will actually bring you to this particular chart.Too lazy to manually type in the links on the bottom left?
People shouldn't even have to ask for a URL to always be provided.

Those are sources of the image content, not the source of the image. If you post a graph, you should always post the link to the page you got the graph from.Too lazy to manually type in the links on the bottom left?

This isn't the source. As Formaldehyde posted its from XKCD.
Quite an interesting chart, and really shows how little radiation is really given off by a properly maintained NPP these days, and how much is given off by everything else.

There seems to be as much general confusion and outright misconceptions over cell phones as there are over nuclear reactors.*unless its a bananaphone...........
That's a great sig you have there. The full dialog can be found here under November 29th, 2009 [14.3] in this Top Gear Wiki article:

It was 8 million in like one day (At least I think that's what its saying.) You literally CAN'T eat that many bananas in one day
Even if its per year, I think that its unlikely you could eat so many.
