Technogenic disaster on Japan is more dangerous than any of natural disaster, minister of Emergency Situations Viktor Baloga said. Talking about Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Baloga said it is not correct to compare this situation with Chernobyl disaster. “Japan is 5% from Chernobyl now. We should hope for the best”, - the minister said.
