Fukushima Daiichi now rates a 5

The International Atomic Energy Agency classifies nuclear accidents on a 7-point scale.

Chernobyl was a 7.

Fukushima Daiichi has now been rated a 5. I’m not surprised that it’s not a 7 yet, I’m just surprised that Three Mile Island was also a 5. By all accounts I’ve read, Fukushima Daiichi is well past Three Mile Island stage.
