The really infuriating thing about Fukushima disaster, in my opinion, is how many people died as a result of evacuation. From wikipedia: > A survey computed that of some 300,000 evacuees, approximately 1,600 deaths related to the evacuation conditions, such as living in temporary housing and hospital closures that had occurred as of August 2013, a number comparable to the 1,599 deaths directly caused by the earthquake and tsunami in the Prefecture. Contrast that with the actual death that occurred/will occur due to radiation: > In 2013, WHO reported that area residents who were evacuated were exposed to so little radiation that radiation induced health impacts were likely to be below detectable levels. (...) According to a linear no-threshold model (LNT model), the accident would most likely cause 130 cancer deaths. In other words, if the Japanese government had told everyone that this was a minor incident and everyone should stay at home, it's likely that less people would have died as a result. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and even with perfect information it would have been political suicide anyway. Such is the danger of nuclear power. The world's second worst nuclear disaster was literally less dangerous than running away from it.
