I think a total of 50 or so are attributed to the evacuation. Not 2000+ BoNiLi (talk) 20:44, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was confused based on what the article said about this as well but the 2200+ number checks out from multiple sources. Source for the 50 number in the article text doesn't seem accessible but it seems like it's from a very limited set of people in hospitals or nursing homes while the 2200+ number is the entire population within the evacuated zone. Leaving the mention of the 50+ number in the article but I've added a mention of the wider number. – Stuart98 ( Talk • Contribs) 09:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the nuclear disaster in japan
whom was behind it 2001:8F8:2D45:B59C:852A:E54A:5F6A:C393 (talk) 15:49, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
nuclear accident : why not "nuclear disaster" ...
Hello, I am french, I write to you in english, learned at school, not very good, I wish you can understand...
Fukushima disaster is more important than a so-called nuclear "accident". In french : accident nucléaire.
Isn't it rather a nuclear "disaster", in french : catastrophe nucléaire.
This is an important debate.
I wish the french wikipedia would write : CATASTROPHE nucléaire de Fukushima.
Thank you for your response

This article used to be called Fukushima nuclear disaster, but it was moved after a discussion. See the link near the top of this page. As for French Wikipedia's title, that's not anything that English Wikipedia has any say over. Meters (talk) 08:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Skeptical Inquirer not Reliable for scientific info
Unfortunately this is not listed in WP:RSP but based off Skeptical Inquirer I do not think this is a reliable source for scientific information. I am removing it in a few locations. The reason I am making such a stir about this is the structure of the section on Radiation Effects in Human is clearly inspired by the Skeptical Inquirer source.
"a number of media reports incorrectly describing thousands of victims of tsunami as if they were victims of the "nuclear disaster" - Skeptical Inquirer is the only source for this claim. I think this is an example of the kind of non-scientific claim that it could be a reliable source for, but this seems like something that should have more sources.
"Worldwide media coverage of the incident has been described as 'ten years of disinformation'" - Skeptical Inquirer is the only journal using this term this is not a widely held belief. If this POV was notable then it should have been attributed; however, this POV is not notable so I am removing it. I reworded the claim and moved it to the section on Germany's response since the source was talking about German media coverage.
