Ken: This whole thing about the March 11 tsunami and earthquake ... it's really shattering.

Yoko: Yeah ... the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, and the tens and thousands of evacuees ... but I take at least some comfort in the fact that people are helping each other.

Ken: Yeah.

Yoko: But you know what annoys me?

Ken: What?

Yoko: Lack of information and explanation. What we hear at press conferences is full of technical terms, and those people rarely explain backgrounds.

Ken: Right.

Yoko: Millisieverts, for example. I don't think any ordinary Japanese is familiar with the unit. What does 100 millisieverts mean? Does it mean it's dangerous...but in what way?
