What's a worse accident then Chernobyl in terms of release? Evacuation is frequently not necessary as people willingly live in places with quite high natural radioactivity.
- pps43 9y agoOnly about 3.5% of radioactive material from one reactor was released (there were four reactors). Also no large city happened to be close enough downwind. Some of the areas within 30 km exclusion zone still have levels of radiation too high for people to live there, and will remain high for hundreds of years.
