15th Apr, Japan government published a report titled
"A comparison of Chernobyl accident and Fukushima".
They seems to insist that
"NO health hazard is confirmed even the Chernobyl accident, Fukushima nuclear plant accident will result no health hazard either".
I am afraid that the JAPAN government decided to suppress future compensation with the sacrifice of the residents, especially, children.
I have tried to translate with keeping their context, but bureaucrats expression is quite difficult to translate. I recommend you to confirm with google translation or other translator.
The report says mainly following points.

------
1 Workers who are exposed on the radiation in the reactor
At Chernobyl, 134 acute radiation damaged workers are confirmed and 28 of them died within 3 weeks. Additionaly, 19 workers have died until today but their cause of the death does not related to the radiation exposure.
* On the contrary, at Fukushima, no acute radiation damaged workers are confirmed. Only a person is damaged on the skin of the leg.
2 Workers who engaged clean-up tasks
In Chernobyl, 0.24million workers are exposed about 100mSv radiation but NO health hazard have occurred.
3 Residents live in the vicinity of the nuclear plants
At Chernobyl, 0.27million residents live in highly contaminated area are exposed more than 50mSv,
5million residents live in low contaminated area are exposed 10 to 20 mSv.
NO health hazard is confirmed from them.
The only exception is the thyroid cancer of children. The children drunk contaminated milk without no restriction. 6000 children were undergone surgery and 15 of them have died until today.
* The vicinity residents of the Fukushima nuclear plants are exposed less than 20mSv currently, NO health hazard will occur.

I watched the news which are about the workers demonstration.

This news telling us the Chernobyl workers are damaged from the radiation exposure.
Why does the government of Japan ignore the health hazard of the Chernobyl accident?
How do Ukraine people think about it? It that certain?
In Japan, many TV programs had reported the scaring health hazard of Chernobyl accident.
After the Fukushima nuclear plant accident, the health hazard of the Chernobyl is ignored and underestimated suddenly.
The JP government says "the radiation level is sufficiently low and it is safe" repeatedly.
Most of vicinity residents simply believes what the government says and they are going their daily life as there are no radiation.
The radiation level of the ground of schools in the Fukushima prefecture are measured last week. The measurement implies non-uniform distribution of the radioactive materials(see the following image).
Some of the radiation level on the ground of the elementary school are more than 5uSv/h.
Such radiation will be accumulated about 44mSv/year. 44mSv is too much radiation level for a regular citizen. I believe this level of radiation is hazardous for children..
The level of the radiation is higher than the evacuation area of the Chernobyl.
Why the government take no action for such high level of the radiation??
They give up to save lives of the children??
