Ambient office = 139 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 79 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 82 nanosieverts per hour
EDF is a major nuclear company in France. They notified the nuclear safety regulator of France which is the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire (ASN) on March 3rd of a significant event related to a design anomaly on three nozzles of the main primary system of the European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) currently under construction at Flamanville.

Ambient outside = 95 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 96 nanosieverts per hour
Lightbridge Corporation has decided to prioritize the development of fuel for future small modular reactors rather than producing fuel for current large power reactors. The company is also considering a zirconium-plutonium version of its fuel. Seth Grae is the President and CEO of Lightbridge. He made these comments in a public statement before a webcast.
Ambient office = 87 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 153 nanosieverts per hour
