I can only speak from my own personal experiences. The earthquake and subsequent tremors busted up the reactors so they couldn't work properly. Radiation leaked, the whole county had to be evacuated, it's all very well documented. My friend was on her third year teaching and living in Fukushima, about 20 km from the epicenter. She had been initially told by the prefectural government to keep the windows closed, and fill a bathtub with water. She ignored all her friends back home begging her to come back like all the other foreigners had the good sense of doing, and dug in her heels because she loved her school and host family (admirable, but not the time, Sera, not the time). She stayed for another year, and makes smug remarks every year around the time of the event about how she's still fine and healthy. Meanwhile kids are testing off the charts with elevated thyroid issues. You ask her if there's significant radiation, she'll say no. You ask my old college professor who lived in Nagsasaki with his Japanese wife and their three kids, who uprooted his family to his original town in London, he'll say yes.
