Japan has increased their nuclear level from 4 to 5, this based on an International Nuclear Event Scale. This is a common practice based throughout the world. France rebutted and stated Japan should actually increase it to a level 6. A level 5 incident is comparison to that of 3 Mile Island. Chernobyl was a level 7, which from my understanding is the highest of levels.
Japanese are still being encouraged to stay inside, and to leave all fans and air conditioners off!
They were given instructions to wear wet towels,clothes, and face masks if deciding to go outside.
AND if you do go outside, they ask that the citizens and strip and take showers immediately. Sounds pretty safe...huh?
