The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency is recommending to extend the evacuation zone radius after recording radiation levels exceeding the safety limits in Iitate, a village 40km north-west from the plant. I personally maintain that a 40 km radius is not enough, and that a wider radius of 80 to 100 km should be seriously considered. Iitate lies 2/3 of the way from Futaba (where the Fukushima-1 nuclear plant is located) and Fukushima city, the prefectural capital, where 300,000 people live.
