I can only speak from my experience living in Fukushima but there are plenty of places in the prefecture where it is fine in terms of radiation levels. We have radiation monitors at every school and all municipal buildings and there are free counters you can get from city hall if you're so inclined. They test fish that they catch and all the vegetables they grow before selling so in general you can get a good idea of the radiation you're receiving.

I don't know anything about the reactor but I've been here close to three years and haven't heard of any students or teachers being diagnosed with cancer or anything. Lingering psychological issues are the real problem here, that and a lack of proper housing since the tsunami hit (Minamisoma). At any rate, Aizu is certainly still beautiful and further in around Fukushima/Koriyama the radiation levels weren't affected to my knowledge.
