The current situation at Fukushima is nowhere near a 'Chernobyl' situation. Chernobyl was something entirely different, with the resulting explosion pushing highly radioactive material well into the atmosphere where it was carried by prevailing currents far across the world. Fukushima (at time of writing) is still very localised, even if there is radioactive material venting.
