Has the fukushima nuclear accident been officially upgraded to level 6 according to Wikipedia?
The Fukushima Daiichi accident has been rated as a level 7, matching Chernobyl, according to several governments commenting. Whether it is not quite as bad as Chernobyl, as bad as Chernobyl, or worse, remains to be seen, and cannot be known for some time.
What are some examples of nuclear disaster?
Some examples of nuclear disasters include the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 where a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine exploded, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material. Another example is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, where a series of equipment failures and a tsunami caused meltdowns at multiple reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. These disasters have had long-lasting environmental and health impacts.
What are Controlled nuclear chain reactions?
Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
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.
Fukushima?

I think it was Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986.Another Answer:Chernobyl was the worst. Fukushima Daiichi was second.
What is distance between Hong Kong and Fukushima?
1,893 miles
What is the worst nuclear disaster in history?
Probably Chernobyl, from a power plant perspective, although the final consequences of Fukushima Daichi are not yet known.The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from a complete nuclear perspective.
How does Japan's level-7 nuclear crisis at Fukushima in 2011 compare to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster?
The fact that Japan itself has now rated this a level 7 means that they think it is equal, in terms of radiation release into the open environment, to the Chernobyl disaster. The amount of radioactive material released by Cernobyl equaled 400 times the amount released by the Hiroshima Bomb. The Fukushima Plant has thus released about the same amount according to Japan's preliminary estimates. The major difference is that a lot of Fukushima's radiation is going straight into the Pacific Ocean, where it is much less a direct threat to people, but a serious problem for oceanic wildlife.
The distance between Sochi and chernobyl?
The approximate distance between Sochi and Chernobyl is around 1,500 kilometers. They are located in different countries, with Sochi being a city in Russia and Chernobyl being a town in Ukraine.
Where is the Fukushima power plant?
There are two Fukushima nuclear power plants, both of which are in the Fukushima district on the east coast. Fukushima Daiichi, where the meltdowns happened, is at a town called Okuma. Fukushima Daini, is at a town called Naraha.
How much radiation was released from the chernobyl accident?
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster released an estimated 400 times more radiation than the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is difficult to quantify the exact amount of radiation released, but it is estimated to be around 100 times more than the combined releases from the atomic bombings and the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
