群馬県桐生市にある保育園では、累積線量を測るタイプの線量計が配布されたようだ。
そこまでなら管理ができるし良い判断だとなるかもしれないが、なんと配られた線量計は最低５０ミリシーベルト累積しないと感知されないもので、たとえ１年間の累積期間だとしてもＪＡＥＡホームページに記載されている公衆の累積被曝量１ミリシーベルトの５０倍、放射線従事者が１年に浴びる限界の放射線量と等しい数値が出ない限り、「注意」のランプですら反応しないのである。
また、がんが発生する恐れがあると言われている２００ミリシーベルトでは「危険」まで達せず、「注意」のレベルに収まる。ＭＡＸの１シーベルトでは、１０％の大人が悪心や嘔吐などただちに人体へ影響が出る数値である。
この線量計が配布されたことについてネット上では「税金の無駄遣い」や「酷すぎて言葉がでない。」、「保育園児で一気に１０００ミリ浴びたら言われんでも危険だろ、、予防になってない！」、「こんなのが反応したら死んじゃうよ（Ｔ＿Ｔ）」、「注意値で東京の屋外の５００倍近くって。」など、苦言が続出している状態だ。

非実用的で不正確。
これで反応が出たときには死んでるんじゃないか、との指摘は尤もで、

人間が放射線によって障害を受ける最低の放射線量というのが、
２００ミリシーベルト／毎時付近。
これが我々の「上限」ライン。

すぐにその場を逃げ出すべき基準は
１０ミリシーベルト／毎時。
何があろうとこの強さで計測されたら、とにかく逃げる。
それにしても、一体どこの誰がこんな線量計を配ったのか？

Stu Phillips & the Hollyridge Strings – Count Me In（1965）

Out of Los Angeles, talk about an amazingly talented cast of characters, this lavishly orchestrated production is the creation of the genius that is Stu Phillips.
In 1964 while working at the west coast office of Colpix Records as the head of Artists & Repetoire, Phillips freelanced as an orchestrator/producer/arranger at Capitol records. His first project was a session with the Four Preps on a tune entitled,’A Letter To The Beatles’. That tune was his inspiration to create an albums worth of instrumental Beatles tunes arranged with a new modern sound. Credited to the’Hollyridge Strings’, the concept was a huge success. By 1965, Phillips had left Colpix and recorded exclusively for Capitol. The popularity of the Hollyridge Strings Beatles collection eventually led to other LP’s that featured the hits of the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, the Four Seasons, Nat’King’ Cole and also a wonderful Christmas album. （Arrangers, Perry Botkin, Jr. as well as Jimmie Haskell also provided orchestral arrangements for supsequent Hollyridge Strings LP’s.）
Recordedat the Capitol Tower in Hollywood in the spring of 1965 and issued in July, the’Feels Like Lovin’ LP showcased the talents of L.A.’s’Wrecking Crew’ on the basic rhythm track with the addition of the Hollyridge Strings and beautiful vocals by the Ron Hicklin Singers. Although not a big seller, Stu Phillips has said that it was his favorite album during his tenure with Capitol Records.
