How has the air in Japan been affected by the disaster?
The air and sea to the east has been affected by radiation.
Does radiation have to do with the weather?
No, But weather can move radiation around if it is already in the air like it has been with the Fukushima accident in Japan and then back in Europe in the Chernobyl event.

How long will the radiation at chernobyl last?
Radiation will stay in the Chernobyl area for the next 48,000 years but humans may begin repopulating the area in the next 600 years or so. The experts predict that by than the most dangerous levels of radiation will have disappeared or been sufficiently diluted into the air, soil, and water.
What were the effects of the Chernobyl accident on the people?
31 people were killed in the immediate accident and 1,800 children have thus far been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. In a study published in May 2001Many people living in and around Chernobyl before the disaster suffered radiation poisoning and related radiation illnesses such as cancer.

How hot is the Chernobyl reactor today?
The Chernobyl reactor is not operational and has been encased in a cement sarcophagus since the 1986 disaster. The temperature inside the sarcophagus is monitored and is not at extreme levels; however, radiation levels are still high in the vicinity.
Is the chernobyl disaster still going?
Its not. The Beta particles (Iodine 131 ) emmited from the diaster will have been spread far and wide now and will also have been less concentrated, so therefore the actual Iodine 131 emmited from the diasaster is of relativly low harm to us, about as much harm as backround radiation.
Which was worse Hiroshima or Chernobyl?
Well, it's a matter of opinion really. Chernobyl let out 100 times more radiation out than Hiroshima and the radiation traveled all over Europe, contaminating many water supplies and has been reported to have been the cause of over 3 million children getting sick, however it has only killed about 4000 people. Hiroshima had less radiation and was less dangerous yet killed more people because it was dropped in such a densely populated area.
What is chernobyl incident?
The Chernobyl Incident, also known as the Chernobyl Disaster, was the result of an unauthorized test at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Employees conducted a test in which the fission process went out of control and caused a massive explosion. Due to the fact that there was nothing to keep the radiation contained, the reactor was destroyed instantly killing 4 people . As a result, the neighboring town of Prypiat was evacuated immediately. It has been abandoned ever since. Today, Prypiat still holds a high concentration of radiation and has not been maintained for over 20 years. As a result, buildings have now fallen into disrepair and Prypiat has become a ghost town.
What changes have been made since the accident in Chernobyl?
Since the Chernobyl accident in 1986, efforts have been made to contain the radiation, including the construction of the New Safe Confinement structure over the damaged reactor. The area surrounding Chernobyl has been turned into a restricted zone, with limited human access to minimize exposure. The accident also led to improvements in nuclear reactor safety regulations and emergency response procedures worldwide.
