Map of winds in the area of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan is shown at the top. Winds on the this map shows, that the wind direction in the prefecture of Fukushima, eliminates the creation of even a potential threat to China, even in the event of a disaster similar to Chernobyl (which is extremely unlikely), on the NPP Fukushima, which are located in Fukushima Prefecture. The threat of accidents at nuclear power plants appeared March 12, 2011, when 373 kilometers northeast of Tokyo there was one of the most powerful earthquakes in recent years with a magnitude of 8.9. For the first impulse was followed by several strong aftershocks with magnitude above 6.0. Japanese authorities imposed a regime of emergency in the area of nuclear power plants (NPP) "Fukushima-1" and "Fukushima-2". Emergency situations arose immediately on the NPP Onagava , NPP Fukushima-1 and NPP Fukushima-2. The Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant has been shut down since a magnitude 9.0 quake struck northeastern and eastern Japan on Friday, but some of its reactors have lost their cooling functions, leading to brief rises in the radiation level over the weekend. On Monday, radiation at the plant's premises rose over the benchmark limit of 500 micro sievert per hour at two locations, measuring 751 micro sievert at the first location at 2:20 a.m. and 650 at the second at 2:40 a.m.. The hourly amounts are more than half the 1,000 micro sievert to which people are usually exposed in one year. The maximum level detected so far around the plant is 1,557.5 micro sievert logged Sunday. By decision of the Government of Japan, evacuation zone was extended from 10 km to 30 km. Thus, the radiation level in the Fukushima nuclear power plant is much lower, then radiation levels, that were at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, so the disaster, similar to Chernobyl- is not expected.
