I think they should have evacuated much of the area straight away - but while people have been kept in the high radiation zones, the Japanese government should have organised civilian clean up crews - to try to combat a small part of the problem, and to help make safe the peoples living spaces.
What has this world come to (or always been)..........

Don't weep, be Rational and Optimistic
The World can't be killed by this Incident and Nature always find a Way, trust me,
the Nature is like us Humans - we also find Ways to survive in a Gulag!
There is a lot of "Decontamination" going on,
even our Self-Defence Force is active.
And until now we have a lot of Luck, trust me!

erm! Sorry to disagree, but how can these local families have any kind of optimism having to live like this? The reality is, as clearly stated in this video report, that children and adults face exposure to harmful levels of radiation! In such circumstances how can they have any optimism? Yes, we who are far away can make inane comments like ohhh nature always finds away! While nature will of course survive this, a fragile generation of human beings in the affected areas may well have to suffer awfully in the near future.
The video is not about how wonderful nature always recovers. It is about communities being forsaken by the authorities in the wake of those nuclear accidents at the Fukushima Plant.edit on 5-2-2012 by Revolution9 because: spelling

What I can't understand is, if these people know that the radiation levels are so high and understand the consequences to themselves and future generations of their families, why they stay there! I don't mean this derogatorily for the families there but, if it were you and your family, wouldn't you do anything to get your family away from there? I realize that economics have a lot to do with people's ability to just up and move, but if it were me, economics wouldn't even enter into it.
I really don't understand the mentality here.

Spoken like a good TEPCO Executive. How long have you worked there?
Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus have been burdened with the continuing and substantial decontamination and health care costs of the Chernobyl accident. A report of the International Atomic Energy Agency,[7] examines the environmental consequences of the accident. Estimates of the number of deaths potentially resulting from the accident vary enormously: Thirty one deaths are directly attributed to the accident, all among the reactor staff and emergency workers.[10] A UNSCEAR report places the total confirmed deaths from radiation at 64 as of 2008. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests it could reach 4,000 civilian deaths, a figure which does not include military clean-up worker casualties.[11] A 2006 report predicted 30,000 to 60,000 cancer deaths as a result of Chernobyl fallout.[12] A Greenpeace report puts this figure at 200,000 or more.[13] A Russian publication, Chernobyl, concludes that 985,000 premature cancer deaths occurred worldwide between 1986 and 2004 as a result of radioactive contamination from Chernobyl.[14]
