You call this a documentary? It's pure propaganda :/
- The only people that ever talked in this video were campaigners, or uninformed people.
- No facts were supported, and statements lacked enough context or reasoning, but they were all presented in such a way to sound 'bad' or 'menacing'.
- The government is not listening to their people, bwuehuehue
- ...

Firstly, how do you know that the people that "ever talked in this video were campaigners, or uninformed people"?
Are you saying that none of them were informed? Where's the objective proof to that?

Answer that question first, and then we'll have an objective discussion.

Radiation is strict science, it can be measured very accurately and down to specific gamma composition. If you want to talk seriously about such a controversial issue as radiation, you need to "bring out number, weight and measure"

Average background radiation in a clean area is around 0.075 uSv/hr, can be higher in an urban setting (I've read reports of up to 0.5 uSv/hr in Kiev for example). These levels may vary a lot from one place to another (especially if there was serious fallout or other artifical pollution), but 10 uSv/hr is extremely high and its not a range I would expect the government to be able to hide in an urban area. As a good comparison:

Chernobyl's middle school buildings provide an everage of 0.7 uSv/hr
The Pripyat city checkpoint entry has a 0.6 uSv/hr
The roofs of the highest buildings there reach 0.9 uSv/hr.

So the 10 uSv/hr reading at Fukushima city is approximately 10~20X higher than those of Chernobyl/Pripyat (where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster took place 30 years ago).

You being marked as from Belgium makes this statement funny.
Because some of the country's atomic power plants aren't particularly up to snuff concerning structural integrity or above all security. Sweepingly discrediting Greenpeace's anti "everything atomic" campaigns seems fitting
