There have been deaths from the evacuation, just as there would

You think the evacuation was unnecessary? What would have
happened if there was no evacuation? You think everyone should
return to their homes and get on with their lives as before?

Go on then, HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE KILLED BY THE RADIATION?

More relevant to ask how many WILL be killed as a result of
radiation exposure. Some estimate 5000.


Only the nutters.

The criteria for the evacuation in the area of Fukushima was an exposure
level of 20mSv/y. Subsequent investigation of 1700 evacuated residents
showed that two thirds had received doses of less than 1mSv/y, 98% had
received doses of less than 5mSv/y, while just 10 people had received
exposures of more than 10mSv.

Because they were evacuated.


An exercise that directly resulted in the deaths of 761 people who, had
they remained, would still not have received dangerous doses of radiation.

So why haven't they all gone back?


Politics.

The Jap government is torn between 'we overreacted. its all a load of
cobblers and we should never have evacuated you ' and 'we will clean
this up so that even the most ardent green idiot will say how well we
have done'

The problem lies with te regulatory regme which s massively
conservervative, and the stupidity of harry ^H^J^H^H^H the public, who
think that any breach of the regulatory regime is a 'disaster'.

To put that into perspective Fukushima was classed as a radiation event
the same level as Chernobyl, the worst possible radioactive release. And
yet no one has died, or will die. Or even get sick, as a result.

More people died at Chappaquiddick...
