I think it's a little odd that people always loop in Fukushima with Chernobyl. The Chernobyl accident was at least an order of magnitude worse.

More people died simply because of the evacuation than from the effects of the Fukushima accident.

I'm pretty pro nuclear but you have to count the deaths from the evacuation because it is an direct consequence of the accident.

Chernobyl isn't necessarily over yet. It's the first entombed nuclear disaster to be part of a conventional war.
