From what I've gathered, it sounds like people were much less prepared for Chernobyl. There is also the fact that graphite was used at Chernobyl instead of water, and that there was no containment structure.
It was horrible, but japaneese isnt over yet, so i can't be sure.
Cause it was
Because Russians are ****
because i said so
Because communists are the best at everying that they do. #1 NUCLEAR DISATER ALL THE WAY
I choose this answer because when the Chernobyl happened the people didn't know how to response and panicked. But the people in Japan did know how to protect the people and would protect the people at all costs.
Beacouse
it still doesnt happen a japan.
You have to remember, with Chernobyl, severe fallout was a result and severe amounts of Caesium-137 are found just miles from Reactor 4, in the ghost cities of Pripyat and Chernobyl. We're talking about a worst-caste scenerio that is still silently spewing radioactive dust from a fractured sarcophogus within Reactor 4. But with Fukushima, even though a full meltdown has occurred at reactor 1 (May 2011....this forum is old), the molten fuel is still within the shattered containment facility. Other reactors have gone down the TMI path; partial meltdowns. Only Reactor 1, which has COMPLETELY melted down, is a hazard. But even though this sounds like another Chernobyl on the way, it won't be. Chernobyl lacked one thing; a containment structure.
Czernobyl is first nuclear disaster. All Russia try to stop Chernobyl catastrophe, but they don't know what to do.
no one has died from japan's nuclear accident.
mmmmmm
Chernobyl was less prepared for a disaster, so more radiation escaped into the air. Fukushima Was more prepared and had better safety precautions.
Core explosion, release in the high atmosphere
since the technology in that period was very low, they were not able to meet u with their needs immediately.
Hello,
I remember Chernoybl because I was in High School and it's just like Japan is today very bad and people are getting sick.

Chernobyl is agreed to not be inhabitable, While there still is a chance for Fukishima.
I;M JUST HOPING
All in all the Japaneese Nuclear disaster is for all practical purposes tamed and contained. Thanks God.
I do believe the Japanese were better prepared for such an disaster. The Japanese has opened it's doors for help from all over as opposed to the Chernobyl Disaster taking place in a Soviet country which would have been more reluctant to accept outside assistance and was slower on the gun in my opinion. Also the disaster in Chernobyl originated within the nuclear plant while the Japanese disaster was the fault of the earthquake so it was a more limited nuclear disaster ,but no more less serious by any means.
Era, lack of commununucation/secrecy, cold war egos
Chernobyl reactor was generating much greater amounts of power than the Japanese reactors.
Chernoble was older and untested. There were not adequate defenses put in place such as being housed in a containable structure. The chernoble was a much bigger system, therefore the damage was more threatening.
Problem is ongoing. I doubt they will ever be able to re-populate a huge area of their country. We hosted a child from Chernobyl for the summer a few years ago. Some of the things she told us about "home" were heartbreaking. Radiation isn't the only problem there of course but I think they have less capacity and cash to deal with the issues that the ordinary people face.
No Containment in Chernobyl, mmassige reactor meltdown, massive release widespread radiantion. Many on site deaths
it had more contamination
The people were unprepared and had little experience with this technology.
Much more nuclear fallout spread over a greater amount of land, thus more people displaced.
Chernobyl is pretty bad
idk
lack of transparency
