Much more nuclear fallout spread over a greater amount of land, thus more people displaced.

No Containment in Chernobyl, mmassige reactor meltdown, massive release widespread radiantion. Many on site deaths

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.

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.

Chernobyl reactor was generating much greater amounts of power than the Japanese reactors.

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.

Chernobyl was less prepared for a disaster, so more radiation escaped into the air. Fukushima Was more prepared and had better safety precautions.

Czernobyl is first nuclear disaster. All Russia try to stop Chernobyl catastrophe, but they don't know what to do.

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.

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.

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.

Two reactors in Japan vs. one in Chernobyl and they are pumping radioactive water into the ocean at an alarming rate vs. Chernobyl which was located in a relatively desolate area and didn't pump water into the ocean,

Because I just think that - from reading bits and pieces on the net and seeing images. If it was just the earthquake, I believe the nuclear stations would have held up. I just feel so sorry for all those people in Japan
