Fukushima is 300 Km north of Tokyo, so while the radiations in the latter might be low, the former, (correct me if I'm wrong), is a lost city that won't be possible to inhabit for thousands of years. That, in my opinion, is a more relevant fact.
Please edit your comment. You're completely wrong, and it's unsubstantiated speculation like this that drapes everything in FUD. People are already returning to the immediate vicinity of the power plant, having only been excluded this long because of ludicrously conservative recommendations.

(The actual city of Fukushima and the rest of the Fukushima prefecture have been safe, even according to the highly conservative recommendations, for a long time now. I'm not sure they were ever even evactuated. As teraflop notes, the above article refers to the small town of Ōkuma in which the reactor was located.)
As expected, the actual harm caused by the meltdown is essentially undetectable above background levels, and is trivial compared to the tsunami disaster that precipitated it. Most of the harm done comes from fear mongering when no actual risk exists.

Now who's over-stating their case? 0% risk?

The main problems from what I've seen are psychological and social. Which are still real problems. One expert says:
"We know from Chernobyl that the psychological consequences are enormous. Life expectancy of the evacuees dropped from 65 to 58 years -- not [predominately] because of cancer, but because of depression, alcoholism and suicide. Relocation is not easy, the stress is very big. We must not only track those problems, but also treat them. Otherwise people will feel they are just guinea pigs in our research." -- http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/studying-the-fukus...
You are horribly wrong. The radiation levels there have fallen off as well.
And as far as people are concerned, there are people living in Chernobyl right now, which was far worse.

Aside from that Pripyat is what should be discussed.
