So YOU say everything is going to be OK?! Why then this??

‘High’ radiation levels is incredibly vague...

BenKenobi is now stuck in the position that the Japanese PM is just trying to scare people... He/She is so deeply dug in that no matter what happens now he/she can’t change course and admit perhaps he/she was wrong...

Next week you will be posting about how the TSA is crap. You ought to recognize the government "doing something" to make it look like they are "doing something" even though the action is ineffective -- to be polite. The safest thing to do during a radiation release is to stay indoors and minimize the air exchange with the outside. Contamination (dust) includes radioactive material -- fleeing the area in your car, etc. will expose you to that dust more than staying inside. Radioactive gas dissipates quickly. The most common contaminants will decay to undetectable level in a few hours/days. The yellow clothes you see nuke plant workers wear is to keep the dust off their bodies (and to let them see large patches of dust if they bump into something). Minimizing their time covered with dust or in a contaminated environment will minimize the dosage -- but dosage will be non-zero in that sorta work.
