Also the initial scale of the Fukushima disaster has been upgraded to Level 7. That's equal to the level Chernobyl was put at. However this is not a reflection of current status, just the scale of it initially before attempts were made to control it.

I am fine. And yes, taking good care of myself.

The accident level has been upgraded but it is no way like chernobyl. I think it depends on total no of reactors involved, total fallout till now, etc etc. Formulae is not precise so level upgrade decision is subjective.

 

Like i said before, i wud b very very scared if it doesnt shake for a long time. Something earth altering happened on 11th, and there shud b enough aftershocks to settle things down.

It is scary but necessary. (it rhymes!)

Yeah, it's just the Japanese engineers erring on the side of caution. Chernobyl was way off the scale. Thing is that the scale only goes till 7 (Major accident) not any higher. Individual reactor accidents at Fukushima have been rated 5 (Accident With Wider Consequences) and it's because multiple reactors were involved that they've put the whole thing collectively at 7 on the INES scale.

 

 

Even the Three Mile Island accident was rated 5 on the scale but had literally no effect on the population in nearby cities.
