The article linked by Flickerdart said:

Japan’s Kyodo news service reported that those who returned to their shelters after the day trip into the hot zone tested negative for radiation exposure.

So, negligible radiation exposure after being in the worst affected zone for several hours...and now you want them to evacuate the whole area? Sorry, that's just nonsense. And isn't it amazing how the media is STILL concentrating on what's been happening at this reactor (which is pretty much entirely safely shut down now) and ignoring all the much nastier stuff that got chucked into the atmosphere when other types of factory got wrecked by the earthquake and/or the tsunami?
