Do You Know?
  1. Samsung smartphones use lithium-ion batteries, which operate by shuttling lithium ions between the anode and cathode through an electrolyte to generate power and recharge. These compact, high-efficiency batteries are managed by smart systems that monitor temperature, charging speed, and usage to preserve performance and longevity. Typically, Samsung batteries are rated for about 300 to 500 full charge cycles—around 2 to 3 years of optimal use—but newer Galaxy models may last through 2,000 cycles, extending their usable life to 4 or even 5 years with proper care. Features like “Protect Battery,” which limits charging to 85%, help minimize wear. To extend battery health, users should avoid extreme temperatures, keep their charge levels between 20–80%, use original chargers, and enable built-in battery protection settings.
  2. iPhone batteries use lithium-ion technology, where lithium ions shuttle between anode and cathode layers through an electrolyte to deliver energy and recharge efficiently, aided by smart power management that controls temperature and charging speed. Designed to retain about 80% of their original capacity after 500 full charge cycles—and up to 1,000 cycles for newer models like the iPhone 15—these batteries typically last 2–3 years under normal use before performance decline becomes noticeable. Users can monitor battery health via Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging, with replacement recommended when capacity drops below 80%. To prolong battery lifespan, it's best to keep charge levels between 20–80%, avoid extreme heat, enable optimized charging, and steer clear of daily fast charging habits.
  3. When comparing energy costs for driving 15,000 miles annually, the Tesla Model 3 uses around 0.25–0.30 kWh per mile, which—at an average electricity rate of $0.13 per kWh—adds up to approximately $487–$585 per year, with some owners reporting even lower costs (as little as $286) when charging during off-peak hours. In contrast, a Toyota Camry gas model averages 32 MPG and would consume roughly 469 gallons annually, totaling about $1,511 in fuel at $3.22 per gallon. Camry hybrid models improve fuel efficiency to 47–51 MPG, reducing fuel expenses to approximately $950–$1,050. This means driving a Tesla Model 3 could save anywhere from $500 to over $1,000 annually compared to various Camry variants, just in energy costs—before considering additional savings on maintenance, emissions, or potential incentives.
  4. Electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly cheaper to fuel than gas-powered cars, costing just $550–$800 per year to charge compared to $1,800–$2,100 in gasoline—making EVs roughly 3–4 times more efficient per mile. However, total ownership costs can vary widely by state due to differences in insurance, registration fees, and local incentives. In Virginia, EV owners spend about $2,152 annually, saving $668 compared to gas car drivers. Oregon stands out as one of the most cost-effective states for EVs, with annual expenses of just $1,810 and savings of $1,442. New Jersey also offers strong savings, with EV ownership costing $2,342 per year—$1,291 less than gas vehicles. Florida is more expensive overall, with EVs costing around $3,237 annually, though they still save drivers about $440. Meanwhile, California flips the script: EV ownership costs soar to $6,568 per year, exceeding gas car costs by $1,544, largely due to higher insurance and registration fees. These regional differences highlight how location can dramatically impact the financial benefits of going electric.
  5. In general, EVs are significantly cheaper to fuel, especially when charged at home. For example, charging a Tesla Model 3 (60 kWh battery) at home costs around $6.83 nationally, while a Ford F-150 Lightning (131 kWh) costs about $14.92. However, prices vary by state: in California, charging that same F-150 Lightning could cost $32.75, while in Louisiana, it’s just $10.90. On the flip side, gasoline prices also fluctuate—Mississippi averages $2.70 per gallon, while California tops the chart at $4.55 per gallon. With gas cars averaging 25 miles per gallon, that’s about 12–13 cents per mile, compared to 3–5 cents per mile for EVs charged at home. So depending on where drivers live, switching to an EV could save them hundreds to over $1,000 per year in fuel costs alone.
  6. A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a versatile unit of energy—equal to 1,000 watts used for one hour—that can power a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours, a microwave for 1 hour, or a smartphone charger for 200 hours. Given that an average U.S. home consumes roughly 29.5 kWh daily, a 100 kWh electric vehicle (EV) battery—like those found in models such as the Polestar 2 or Volkswagen ID.3—could keep essential appliances running for over 3 days. Through bidirectional charging technology, EVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Chevy Silverado EV can act as backup power stations, sending electricity back to your home or even the grid. Smart energy platforms such as Tesla Powerwall, EcoFlow Oasis, and GM PowerBank support this integration, allowing homeowners to optimize energy usage, charge vehicles during off-peak hours, and supply power during peak rates or outages. EVs are quickly evolving into mobile energy hubs, transforming garages into miniature power plants that combine transportation with sustainability and resilience.
  7. A typical EV battery—holding around 60 to 100+ kWh of energy—packs enough punch to charge a smartphone with a 5,000 mAh battery more than 20,000 times, yet it's specifically designed for high-power, short-duration bursts to propel a two-ton vehicle from 0 to 60 in seconds. Unlike your phone battery, which trickles out energy slowly and steadily, EV packs must deliver electricity instantly for acceleration while also managing temperature, regeneration, and charging cycles. It’s a difference of purpose—one powers your scrolling thumb, the other powers everything from torque to travel.
  8. Solid-state batteries are revolutionizing electric mobility by replacing traditional liquid electrolytes with solid materials, offering higher energy density (up to 400–500 Wh/kg), ultra-fast charging (like Huawei’s claim of 10% to 80% in under 5 minutes), extended lifespans of 20 years or more, and greater safety due to non-flammable electrolytes; leading companies such as Toyota, Samsung, and Factorial Energy are pushing toward commercialization by 2026–2028. Meanwhile, smart battery ecosystems are transforming storage into intelligent systems through wireless battery management (like GM’s Ultium), AI-driven health diagnostics, bidirectional charging for vehicle-to-grid and home backup functions, and second-life applications where retired EV batteries power homes. Integrated platforms like Tesla Powerwall and EcoFlow allow users to monitor and optimize energy use across devices, contributing to a more sustainable and connected energy future. Together, these technologies promise vehicles that charge in minutes, drive up to 500+ miles per charge, and double as mobile power stations, with advanced features like real-time monitoring and energy recycling that make batteries smarter, safer, and significantly greener.
  9. Car batteries are the unsung heroes of modern vehicles, powering everything from engine ignition to infotainment systems and advanced driver-assist features. While traditional lead-acid batteries remain popular for their affordability and reliability, newer AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) models offer enhanced durability and performance for vehicles with higher electrical loads, such as those with start-stop technology. In the electric vehicle (EV) realm, lithium-ion batteries reign supreme, boasting capacities from 60 to over 100 kWh and enabling impressive ranges—300–400+ miles for Tesla, 230–320 miles for Ford, 250–400 miles for GM, 300–410 miles for Rivian, 250–320 miles for Hyundai/Kia, 350–500 miles for Lucid Motors, and 150–300 miles for Nissan. Tesla’s Model 3 alone packs 6,831 cells and weighs around 900 pounds. These batteries are engineered for deep cycling and often feature sophisticated thermal management systems to optimize performance across climates. With solid-state batteries on the horizon promising faster charging and greater energy density, and recycling innovations recovering up to 97% of battery materials1, the future of car batteries is not just powerful—it’s sustainable and smart.
  10. Car batteries are essential for powering vehicles, from starting the engine to running lights and electronics. Traditional lead-acid types remain common due to reliability and cost-effectiveness, while absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries suit vehicles with heavier electrical demands. Electric vehicles (EVs) use high-capacity lithium-ion batteries capable of storing 60–100+ kWh, designed for deep cycling and equipped with thermal management systems to maintain efficiency; some, like Tesla's, provide over 300 miles per charge. Innovations like solid-state batteries promise higher energy density, faster charging, and enhanced safety, while battery recycling efforts focus on recovering valuable metals like lithium and cobalt. Smart batteries even feature Bluetooth connectivity for real-time monitoring. Interestingly, a typical car battery can power a smartphone over 20,000 times—though it's engineered for short, intense energy bursts rather than sustained output.
  11. Biofuels and biomass are renewable energy sources that convert organic materials such as crops, wood, and waste into electricity, heat, and fuel using methods like direct combustion, co-firing, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and pyrolysis. Ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are the main biofuels—ethanol is made from fermenting corn or sugarcane sugars, biodiesel comes from vegetable oils and animal fats, and biogas is captured from landfills or digesters. Biomass systems can produce combined heat and power, boosting efficiency for communities and industries while offering energy security through local sourcing. With about 151 GW of global capacity as of 2024, biomass makes up roughly 4.4% of renewable energy, contributing significantly in countries like the U.S. and Brazil. Sustainably managed biomass is considered carbon-neutral and is expected to play an increasingly vital role in climate-friendly energy strategies.
  12. Hydropower is the world’s most widely used renewable energy source, providing over 16% of global electricity and playing a key role in clean energy transitions. China leads the pack, generating about 1,300 TWh annually and hosting the record-breaking Three Gorges Dam, followed by Brazil, Canada, the U.S., Norway, and Paraguay—all relying heavily on hydroelectric power. Major projects like the Shuangjiangkou Dam in China, Grand Inga in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and regional efforts in East Africa reflect global efforts to expand hydropower capacity. The Asia-Pacific region dominates installations, but recent droughts in countries like China and India have exposed vulnerabilities, sometimes triggering increased fossil fuel reliance. Despite environmental concerns such as ecosystem disruption and reservoir emissions, hydropower remains vital for grid stability, irrigation, flood control, and sustainable development, with the market projected to reach $371.8 billion by 2030.
  13. Wind energy is a powerful and historically rich source of electricity, dating back over 5,000 years when ancient civilizations used wind to sail and operate early windmills. Today's turbines can reach heights of 650 feet with blades up to 250 feet long, producing over 10 megawatts each—enough to power thousands of homes. Floating offshore farms, like Hywind Scotland, harness stronger marine winds, while countries like China lead with over 328 GW of installed capacity, and Denmark generates nearly 50% of its electricity from wind. In the U.S., more than 150 GW of wind capacity powers 45 million homes and supports over 125,000 jobs. Wind itself is a form of solar energy, created by uneven heating of Earth's surface, and turbines now emit zero greenhouse gases and are up to 90% recyclable, with innovations aiming for fully recyclable blades by 2025. Costs have dropped significantly, averaging just 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, making it one of the cheapest and cleanest electricity sources available.
  14. Solar power is one of the most dynamic and intriguing energy sources, with sunlight traveling 93 million miles to Earth in just eight minutes and delivering enough energy in one hour to power the planet for a year. Its roots trace back to 1839, when French physicist Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect, the principle behind solar cells. Beyond rooftops, solar panels now energize the International Space Station and even fuel experimental aircraft. Floating solar farms are installed on lakes to save land and minimize water evaporation, and in China, a 250-acre solar farm was built in the shape of a panda to promote environmental awareness. Interestingly, solar panels can still operate efficiently on cloudy days—up to 40%—and reflected sunlight from snow can actually enhance performance. With costs having dropped over 99% since 1977, solar has become one of the most affordable energy options, even inspiring architectural designs that integrate panels directly into buildings.
  15. Several alternative energy sources are being used to replace oil in electricity generation, offering cleaner and more sustainable options. Solar power converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells and is rapidly expanding due to falling costs and improved efficiency. Wind energy harnesses air currents through turbines and produces zero emissions during operation, with both offshore and onshore farms growing globally. Hydropower generates electricity from flowing water, such as rivers and dams, and remains one of the most reliable and widely used sources in countries like China, Brazil, and the U.S. Geothermal energy taps into Earth's internal heat, producing steam to drive turbines—especially effective in volcanic regions like Iceland and parts of the U.S. Wave and tidal energy capture ocean movement to generate power and, while still developing, show promise due to their predictability and high energy potential. Biofuels and biomass convert organic materials into electricity and, when sourced sustainably, can be carbon-neutral and useful in combined heat and power systems. Nuclear power offers low emissions and high output through controlled reactions but remains controversial due to waste and safety concerns. Lastly, hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water vapor, and although currently costly, the technology is advancing steadily. All these sources together represent a diverse toolkit for phasing oil out of the electric power mix.
  16. As of 2024, global oil consumption averaged about 101.8 million barrels per day, which equates to approximately 13.84 million metric tonnes daily, using the standard conversion of 1 barrel being roughly 0.136 tonnes. The United States led with around 19.7 million barrels per day, accounting for nearly 20% of the world’s demand, followed by China at 16.6 million barrels/day and India at 5.4 million barrels/day; other top consumers included Saudi Arabia, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico, collectively contributing to about 60% of global oil use. Sector-wise, in OECD countries, roughly 49% of oil went to road transportation, 8% to aviation, and 12% to petrochemicals, with the remaining 31% serving shipping, heating, power generation, and industrial uses. Much of the growth in demand now comes from non-OECD countries like India and Brazil, while petrochemical feedstocks are the fastest-growing segment; transportation fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel still dominate the overall energy landscape.
  17. As of 2024, the United States consumed approximately 18.98 million barrels of oil per day, with transportation accounting for about 13.8 million barrels daily (roughly 73%), industry consuming around 5.4 million barrels, and the rest used in residential, commercial, and electric power sectors. China used about 16.4 million barrels daily, with 42% allocated to transportation, 37% to industry—especially manufacturing and petrochemicals—and the remainder split across power generation and residential uses. Globally, the aviation industry consumed around 77 billion gallons of jet fuel annually, which translates to roughly 5 million barrels per day; within that, the U.S. aviation sector alone used about 1.65 million barrels daily, with commercial aviation responsible for 85% of that usage, general aviation 8%, and military/government applications 7%. In the U.S. manufacturing sector (2022), oil was primarily used for process heating, equipment operation, and boiler fuel, contributing to an industrial energy share of about 32%, though there has been a gradual shift toward natural gas and electricity; oil remains vital in producing plastics, lubricants, and chemical feedstocks.
  18. Nuclear bombs come in various types, including fission bombs like Little Boy and Fat Man (yielding 10–500 kilotons), fusion bombs such as Tsar Bomba and Ivy Mike (yielding 1–50+ megatons), boosted fission weapons with yields of 100 kilotons to 1 megaton, neutron bombs designed to release enhanced radiation with yields around 1–10 kilotons, and dirty bombs that use conventional explosives to spread radioactive material. Fission bombs split heavy nuclei like uranium-235 or plutonium-239, while fusion bombs combine light nuclei like hydrogen isotopes, with the latter requiring a fission trigger and producing exponentially greater destruction. When detonated, a nuclear bomb causes layered devastation: a supersonic blast wave flattens buildings; thermal radiation ignites fires over miles and causes severe burns; ionizing radiation penetrates tissues, damaging DNA and raising cancer risks; fallout spreads radioactive particles across wide regions; and in some cases, firestorms consume oxygen and intensify the damage. Fallout varies based on detonation altitude and weather—local fallout from low-altitude blasts may contaminate nearby soil and water within hours, while global fallout from high-altitude explosions can circulate for months, traveling via wind currents and jet streams. Radioactive isotopes like cesium-137 and iodine-131 can settle thousands of kilometers away, and fallout from historical tests has reached areas as far as the U.S. Midwest and Canada. The scale of destruction depends on the bomb's yield, location, and surrounding terrain, and a single modern warhead can wipe out a city and alter global climate through lingering debris and atmospheric soot.
  19. There are several types of nuclear bombs, including fission bomb, fusion bomb, boosted fission, neutron bomb, and dirty bomb. Fusion bombs (thermonuclear weapons) are thousands of times more powerful than fission bombs and are the backbone of modern strategic arsenals.

  20. Bomb Type Mechanism Yield Range Notable Examples Key Features
    Fission Bomb Splits heavy nuclei (U-235, Pu-239) ~10–500 kilotons Little Boy, Fat Man Simpler design, used in WWII
    Fusion Bomb Fuses light nuclei (H isotopes) ~1–50+ megatons Tsar Bomba, Ivy Mike Requires fission trigger, massive yield
    Boosted Fission Fission with small fusion boost ~100 kilotons–1 MT W54, tactical warheads Compact, efficient, battlefield use
    Neutron Bomb Enhanced radiation, low blast ~1–10 kilotons ERW warheads Maximizes radiation, minimizes damage
    Dirty Bomb Conventional explosive + radioactive material Varies (non-nuclear yield) Radiological dispersal devices Psychological impact, contamination

  21. A nuclear bomb unleashes catastrophic damage in multiple, compounding stages: a supersonic blast wave flattens structures and hurls debris with devastating force; intense thermal radiation ignites fires over miles and scorches exposed skin; ionizing radiation penetrates tissues, damaging DNA and elevating long-term cancer risks; and radioactive fallout blankets surrounding areas, contaminating air, water, and soil with toxic particles linked to conditions like leukemia and thyroid cancer. In extreme cases, widespread fires fuse into unstoppable firestorms that consume oxygen and devastate entire regions. The overall impact hinges on factors such as the bomb’s yield, detonation altitude, and terrain—but a single modern warhead holds the power to annihilate a city and disrupt the global climate through lingering radioactive debris and atmospheric soot.
  22. A nuclear bomb unleashes colossal energy through nuclear reactions—either by fission, which splits heavy atomic nuclei like uranium-235 or plutonium-239, or by fusion, which combines light nuclei such as hydrogen isotopes. At its core, the bomb contains fissile material that, when compressed to a critical mass, sparks a self-sustaining chain reaction that floods the surroundings with intense heat, radiation, and explosive force. In thermonuclear weapons, this initial fission blast sets off fusion reactions, dramatically magnifying the energy release. The result is a searing fireball hotter than the sun’s core, followed by a thunderous shockwave, blinding thermal radiation, and penetrating ionizing radiation—each inflicting devastation on a massive scale.
  23. A nuclear reactor operates by initiating and controlling a sustained nuclear fission reaction, primarily using uranium-235 fuel. Neutrons collide with uranium atoms in the reactor core, causing them to split and release energy as heat along with more neutrons, which perpetuate the chain reaction. The fuel rods containing uranium are submerged in water, which serves as both a coolant and a moderator to manage the speed of the neutrons. Control rods made of neutron-absorbing materials are inserted or withdrawn to regulate the reaction rate. The heat generated converts water into steam, which then powers turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Most reactors are either pressurized water reactors (PWRs), which keep water under pressure to prevent boiling, or boiling water reactors (BWRs), which produce steam directly within the reactor vessel.
  24. Nuclear radiation can have significant impacts on health, depending on the level and duration of exposure.
    • Acute Effects
      • High Doses: Exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as from an atomic bomb or a nuclear accident, can cause acute radiation syndrome (ARS), also known as radiation sickness; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, skin burns, and even death in severe cases.
      • Immediate Symptoms: Symptoms can appear within hours and may include fatigue, loss of appetite, and severe nausea.
    • Long-Term Effects
      • Cancer Risk: Prolonged exposure to lower levels of radiation can increase the risk of developing cancer. Studies on atomic bomb survivors and radiation industry workers have shown a correlation between radiation dose and cancer risk.
      • Cardiovascular Disease: There is also evidence suggesting a link between radiation exposure and cardiovascular diseases.
      • Genetic Damage: Radiation can damage the genetic material (DNA) in cells, which can lead to mutations and potentially cancer.
    • Protective Measures
      • Sheltering: In the event of a nuclear emergency, staying indoors and following local authorities' instructions can reduce exposure.
      • Medical Intervention: Immediate medical care can help mitigate the effects of radiation exposure.
  25. Nuclear radiation can lead to both acute and long-term health effects, with the severity influenced by factors such as dosage, age, and individual susceptibility. High doses received in a short time may cause immediate symptoms like skin burns, nausea, vomiting, and acute radiation syndrome, which can be life-threatening. Over time, prolonged or repeated exposure increases the risk of cancers—including leukemia and thyroid cancer—as well as cardiovascular disease, which may develop years after exposure. Children and fetuses are especially vulnerable due to rapid cell division, while older adults may face heightened risks of radiation-related complications.
  26. Exposure to very high levels of radiation—like being near an atomic blast—can cause severe acute health effects, including skin burns, hair loss, and acute radiation syndrome (ARS), which manifests as nausea, vomiting, and immune system collapse. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to disrupt atoms in living cells, damaging DNA and other vital molecules. While our cells are remarkably efficient at repairing this damage, errors in the repair process can lead to cell death or mutations that may eventually result in cancer.
  27. Exposure to very high levels of radiation can severely disrupt biological systems, as the energy emitted from radioactive sources penetrates tissues and damages cellular structures. This can impair the function of vital organs and lead to acute effects such as nausea, vomiting, skin redness, hair loss, and radiation burns. In extreme cases, it may trigger acute radiation syndrome (ARS), a condition marked by widespread cell death and immune suppression. Long-term consequences include an elevated risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, and at doses exceeding several hundred millisieverts in a short time, death is possible without medical intervention.
  28. Radioactive materials decay spontaneously and emit ionizing radiation, which can severely disrupt the body's internal chemistry by breaking the chemical bonds between atoms and molecules in tissues. This damage includes direct hits to vital biomolecules like DNA and proteins, as well as the ionization of water molecules that produces reactive free radicals — particularly hydroxyl radicals — that further attack and destabilize surrounding cellular structures. These molecular disruptions can interfere with cellular functions, overwhelm repair systems, and ultimately lead to mutations, cell death, or the development of cancer, depending on the radiation's type, energy, and how quickly it’s absorbed.
  29. Exposure to small doses of ionizing radiation—as low as 100 millisieverts (mSv)—can increase the risk of developing cancer, with the danger rising proportionally as the dose increases. Organs with rapidly dividing cells, such as the thyroid gland and bone marrow, are particularly sensitive to radiation damage, making them more susceptible to mutation and malignancy. While 100 mSv isn’t high enough to cause immediate symptoms, it marks a threshold where statistically measurable cancer risks begin, prompting careful monitoring by health professionals and regulatory agencies.
  30. Leukemia is widely recognized as the most common radiation-induced cancer, particularly following high-dose exposures. Unlike many solid tumors, which often take a decade or more to develop, leukemias can emerge relatively quickly. Studies show that radiation-induced leukemias may appear as early as 2 to 3 years after exposure, with a peak incidence around 10 years2. This shorter latency is due to the rapid turnover and sensitivity of bone marrow cells, which are more vulnerable to DNA damage from ionizing radiation.
  31. Radiation exposure can lead to a range of cancers, often developing years or even decades after the initial exposure due to long latency periods. These include lung cancer, commonly linked to radon and inhaled radioactive particles; skin cancer, which may be influenced by ionizing radiation as well as UV exposure; thyroid cancer, which is especially sensitive to radiation and can develop within a few years; breast cancer, typically emerging 10 to 20 years after high-dose exposure; and stomach cancer, which is less commonly associated but still possible, with latency sometimes exceeding 20 years. The likelihood and timing of cancer development depend on the radiation dose, exposure duration, and individual susceptibility.
  32. A dose of 1 millisievert (mSv) is considered very low and does not cause radiation sickness; it’s comparable to the exposure from a single CT scan or a few X-rays. Radiation sickness—marked by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and fatigue—typically occurs only at much higher doses around 1,000 mSv (1 sievert) received in a short timeframe. While 1 mSv does contribute to long-term cumulative risk, it is nowhere near the threshold for acute health effects or temporary sickness.
  33. A 5 millisievert (mSv) radiation dose is considered low-level exposure and generally safe if received over a short period. It's an effective dose, meaning it accounts for the type of radiation and how sensitive various organs are, making it useful for estimating long-term risks like cancer. A single chest CT scan delivers roughly 6–8 mSv, so 5 mSv falls within that medical range—not enough to cause acute harm, but worth tracking if repeated. While this dose exceeds the public exposure limit of 1 mSv per year (not including medical procedures), it's still well below the occupational limit of 50 mSv per year. Although effects accumulate over time, a one-time dose of 5 mSv presents minimal health risk in most scenarios.
  34. A radiation dose of 5 millisieverts (mSv) is not considered dangerous and is far below the level that could cause acute health effects. For context, people typically receive between 2.7 to 6.2 mSv annually from natural background sources, while a transatlantic flight adds around 0.08 mSv, and a chest CT scan delivers about 6.6 mSv. Acute symptoms generally begin at around 1,000 mSv, and a lethal dose (LD50) is roughly 5,000 mSv. So although 5 mSv is above a typical X-ray, it’s still low-level exposure, well within safety limits for short-term effects.
