Readings had been coming up with .1 rem of radiation per year around the site, which is the amount that the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends evacuation at.
However, normal readings in Denver, Colorado are .3 rem per year, yet Denver has one of the lowest rates of cancer in the US.
It is also worth noting that it takes a dose of twenty-five rems at one single exposure to even give you a one percent chance of cancer.
So for those living in or around Fukushima, there's very little to worry about.
