Japan Radiation Issue

You might want to use some facts before speaking. People are currently living not far from Chernobyl. The only long term issue has been that you cannot farm the area or raise livestock.

Not far still is not AT Chernobyl. The "Sarcophagus" is decaying and the major issue is how to rebuild it as the core (or whatever is left in the reactor) is still extremely radioactive...... If it were to collapse it will still release radioactive dust into the air, 25 years later. Yes people may be living close to the damaged plant, but if it were to collapse they would need to move again or die.

Well Obviously they are not living in the halls of the plant, but people are living in the same towns they did before the meltdown.

Yes, the containment is deteriorating, but from my quick reading funding is already being put together to build a new sarcophagus for it.

but if it were to collapse they would need to move again or die.

When another hurricane its NOLA, people will have to move or die there also.

You're comparing a natural disaster to a nuclear meltdown? Plus, you can prepare for a hurricane DAYS in advance. Extreme radiation will kill you in a day.
