  5. Radiation exposure and the effects on human health

    As engineers have fought to avert a meltdown at the earthquake- and tsunami-crippled Fukushima No. 1 (Daiichi) power plant, nuclear authorities have reported that spikes of radiation have escaped from the facility at levels that can be dangerous to human health. Authorities have evacuated more than 170,000 people within 12 miles  of the  plant and have warned those within 20 miles to stay indoors and close off ventilation systems.
