Japanese authority and the phxxking mass media have completely ignored what many people in the contaminated areas should learn from the Chernobyl victims. Instead, they are bringing trivial articles to spend out the valuable public waves and time just to make the people forget about Fukushima tragedy which is still going on of course, and the real danger is to begin in just a few years! They may think not each one has to be responsible for anything that will occur only they've left the office, but I'm one of those who strongly wish to make each individual responsible for increasing casualties go to prison for life sentences.
That said, hey, I can't believe why CNN making so light of Fukushima catastrophe? Chernobyl explosion was 14 times greater than Fukushima?? How so? It should be the comparison between the cumulative victims and the internal-exposed (not yet ill for the next few years) in Japan.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident was already "ranked" the worst such in history in many ways including the total amount of the fuel in the six reactors and fuel pools. Reactor #4 fuel pool is hung on the crippled building that could collapse any time if hit by another big earthquake. The building is tilted (80cm depth difference between south and north walls). The 30-40mil Tokyo Metropolitan residents are subject to serious internal-exposure to radiation surrounded by hotspot zones with hot particles everywhere.

[Quote from CNN]
(CNN) -- Twenty-six years ago this week, a botched reactor safety test in a corner of what was then the Soviet Union set off the worst nuclear accident in history.live in the fallout zone.
The radiation effects of the April 26, 1986, reactor explosion were about 400 times more potent than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II, and nearly 14 times greater than the disaster last year at the Fukushima plant in Japan.
[<- don't believe this. The US wants to make it smaller for GE!] Fast forward to today, and even in the exclusion zone, plants have re-grown, animals are flourishing and Chernobyl has been opened to tourists.
But Chernobyl refuses to be relegated to the past. Indeed it may still be devastating the lives of millions who continue to
Aside from the potential health hazards of living in an area contaminated with radiation, domino socioeconomic effects have caused multiple problems in these regions.
Chernobyl Children International, or CCI, works to help kids in the region whose lives have been impacted by a disaster that happened years before they were born. Many suffer from physical problems such as congenital heart defects. Many kids have chronic illnesses or disabilities, and many live full time in institutions.
