The US government told all US citizens within 50 miles of Fukushima to evacuate. However, in the US only a 10 mile evacuation zone and plan is required. Not only has population doubled in many cases since plans were made over 30 years ago, but the risks we face are much greater due to our aging reactors, increases in geological and weather events and chances of long-term power outages due to the upcoming solar storms. We must demand safety comes first!
we can certainly learn this lesson from japan!
