It’s easy for any thinking person who doesn’t buy into the BS from Tepco to see that this disaster is already worse than Chernobyl.
The Chernobyl exclusion zone was set based on a level of 555,000 becquerels of cesium-137. This level corresponded to a roughly 30 km exclusion zone around Chernobyl. In Japan levels nearly 4 times that amount are being found at locations beyond 30 km from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
This disaster isn’t close to being over yet. Even the Tepco officials themselves are saying that it will take months or maybe even years to bring the plant under control. The radiation levels are only going to get worse in Japan and around the world.
