This is a non-hype description of what’s going on with respect to nuclear fears… referred to this by my cousin who works for the Canadian government in the nuclear energy sector.

**Japanese Nuclear Crisis Upgraded to Chernobyl Level** > Max Read — The badly damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant has been upgraded from 5 to 7 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. That’s, in case you were wondering, out of seven—the only other nuclear crisis to reach the same level is Chernobyl. > Authorities still believe “the cumulative amount [of radiation] from the Fukushima plant is less than that from Chernobyl,” but another aftershock—6.6 magnitude—forced workers to evacuate on Monday, and Reactor No. 4 is apparently on fire. > Update: More information about the upgrade: The Wall Street Journal writes that the decision to upgrade the Fukushima plant’s rating is a “grim admission” that we’re talking about serious, long-term damage to the surrounding area, and an acknowledgment that the plant suffered from a “major release” of radioactive material. The Japanese government is evacuating towns as far as 19 miles away, depending on radiation levels, though the danger isn’t immediate and residents have a month to move. > [NHK, WSJ; image of police clearing bodies in the evacuation zone via AP] ---

That’s actually missleading. While it’s reached the technical definition of a level 7, Fukushima has only released 1/10th the radiation of Chernobyl. It’s still bad, but nowhere near Chernobyl yet.
