The radiation levels have dropped and the area was long evacuated. They had a cooling problem and got everyone in 10km of it out (think that's gone up to 20km now). Wind is expected to blow radiation out over sea later today. There is no danger of a Chernobly type incident, so remain calm. The authorities know what they are doing and are being very open about it
