If they do not have a certificate, they are being told they cannot be allowed into evacuation centres amid fears that they might be a 'hibakusha' - a person contaminated by radiation. The ban is a reminder of the discrimination suffered by irradiated survivors of the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. *Radiation in Japan is as bad as Chernobyl as crisis level is raised to 7 for only the second time in history* <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1375981/Now-radiation-Japan-bad-Chernobyl-crisis-level-raised-seven-second-time-history.html>12 Apr 2011 Japanese officials admitted today that the spread of radiation from its crippled nuclear plant was out of control and that the government had raised the crisis level to the worst on the international scale.
