Radioactivity can also be carried to faraway places by the winds, as it was in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, though it will become increasingly diffuse.

In the United States, local communities plan for evacuation typically within 10 miles of a nuclear plant. FRONTLINE continues its investigation of nuclear safety with an unprecedented account of the crisis inside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex after a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck. tv images showed smoke rising from the fukushima facility, 240 km (150 miles) north of tokyo.an explosion blew the roof off the no. A complete meltdown would release uranium and dangerous byproducts into the environment that can pose serious health risks. It is unclear how far the impact of a meltdown might reach. The explosion occurred when hydrogen reacted with oxygen outside the reactor. The morning explosion in Unit 3 of the Fukushima Daiichi plant was felt 40 kilometres away, but the plants operator said radiation levels at the reactor remained within legal limits. Officials vented steam from the reactor to reduce pressure, and were aware that there was an explosion risk because the steam contained hydrogen, said Shinji Kinjo, spokesman for the government's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. Water levels dropped precipitously at another reactor, completely exposing the fuel rods and raising the threat of a meltdown. But US nuclear experts say they are worried about the possibility. The explosion that destroyed the walls and ceiling of Dai-ichi Unit 1's containment building was much less serious that a meltdown would be - in fact, it was operators' efforts to avoid a meltdown that caused it. Japanese officials have reassured the public, saying there is no danger of a meltdown of the reactor core.
