(Reuters) - Radiation measured at a village 40 km from Japan's crippled nuclear plant exceeded a criterion for evacuation, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday, the latest sign of widening consequences from the crisis.

I still advise people in the area
80km around Fukushima plants to leave the area as soon as possible.

Smoke Briefly Detected At Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant
TOKYO (Kyodo)--Smoke was temporarily seen at the No. 1 reactor of the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant, but it soon disappeared, its operator said Wednesday.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said smoke was detected at around 5:56 p.m. from a power distribution panel on the first floor of the turbine building at the reactor. The company, known as TEPCO, said it made a call to a local fire department.
The announcement came at a time when efforts are under way to contain the nuclear crisis at the radiation-leaking Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, hit by the devastating March 11 earthquake and ensuing tsunami.
The Fukushima Daini plant is located about 10 kilometers from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant, and its four reactors have been stable in so-called ''cold shutdown'' after suspending operations following the quake.

It might be interesting for some people. Fukushima Daini is 10km afar from Fukushima Daichi. The smoke lasted for approximatly one hour.

What they don't say is the fact that to entomb it they need to cool it down constantly for a long period of time. It may take 2-3 years otherwise the concrete would accelerate the core meltdown followed by corrosion into the ground.
They still can't stop plutonium leakage into the sea.
