Not really. They're uninhabitable only because of not-always-rational fear of radiation. People were fleeing from Japan because of Fukushima, and when doing so some of my countrymen returned here, where the natural background radiation is higher than in the affected area they ran away from.
When coming here, they went to an airplane which was high up in the sky and momentarily gave them an even higher dose of radiation.
Fukushima exclusion zone is a social phenomenon created by human fear, not physiological created by radiation.
