Japan ’s prime minister Naoto Kan has urged people domiciliate within 30 klick ( 19 miles ) of the plant to delay indoors , and a similar 30 km wheel spoke no - tent-fly zone has also been established .

The master government activity voice Yukio Edano has stated that the “ radiation tier at the front gate was 8217 this morning … It has since come down to the level that can do no harm . ” This radiation syndrome interpretation of 8217 micro sievert ( measured per hour ) was from the Fukushima industrial plant ’s front gate , and is 400 times the annual sound boundary , reportedly . Nonetheless , the Nipponese political science and medium have assured people that the levels are fine now , and that the risk of radiation intoxication is minimal . [ Kyodo News , Tech .
