But at the same time, radiation and exposure is more nuanced than when and where an event happened that might coincide with some later generalised health effects. Not all radiation is the same and radiation exposure does not always lead to

That assertion is incorrect. There were other Nuclear Power Plants that were closer to the Tōhoku earthquake epicentre and just as affected by the proceeding tsunami. Of note is the Onagawa NPP which was used as a refuge to house residents
