“About 140,000 people have so far been evacuated from areas near two Japanese nuclear power plants after Friday’s earthquake, the U.N. atomic watchdog said in a statement citing information from Japanese authorities.

‘Evacuations around both affected nuclear plants have begun,’ the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said.

In a 20-km radius around Fukushima Daiichi an estimated 110,000 people have been evacuated. In a 10-km radius around Fukushima Daini about 30,000 people have been evacuated.

‘Full evacuation measures have not been completed,’ it said.”  Source.
