Are you friggin kidding me? Not a single person was killed by nuclear exposure after a 8.4M earthquake killed 25000 people. The forced removal of people lead to 1000+ suicides.

This is obviously a loaded statement. There were reports of plant workers that died because of unexpected radiation exposure. Moreover, in many cases radiation causes damage after XY years of being inside human body, so we will only see in the next decades what the toll is. There is also water leaking for how many years already, nobody able to do anything about it and radiation from Fukushima detected on Hawaii in the sea water already (though minuscule amounts). And how much information is swept under the rug to maintain "face"? Your statement is either naive or intentional, the effect is the same.
