    I had to google, maybe some else wants to know: Galileo units is a (non-SI) measure of acceleration.

    1 gal = 1 cm/s^2

    100 gal = 1 m/s^2

    So the 500-something gal from the article is roughly around half the acceleration of gravity we normally feel.

    But their nuclear wastewater releases from Fukushima are perfectly within spec. Trust me.
