Chernobyl was much, much worse than Fukishima. Chernobly rained down radiation on many hundreds of thousands of people. Parts of the surrounding area are intensely radioactive to this day. Fukishima is nothing like that.
Total deaths from Chernobly, including cancers is expected to be around 4000. That represents approximately a 3% increase in cancer risk to some 600,000 people.
