Well, Japan has now risen the level of the Fukushima to level 7. The same level as Chernobyl. Problem is, the Fukushima barely scrapes into level 7, whilst Chernobyl blasted WAY over the standards needed to be catagorised as a level 7 disaster. It could easily have created its own level 8, or 9! And another issue is that the graphite core in the Chernobyl reactor burst into flames, and carried particles of core high into the sky on the updraft, that was then carried all over Europe. Here in fukushima, we have seen a couple of explosions which have lifted some radioactive material into the sky, but without any resultant fire, that was basically scattered in the local area, and is already decaying quickly.
Outside the evacuation zone, Japan is still safe! And with the Cherry Blossom season approaching, I encourage you to visit!
