This is a purely political move.
Technically, even to be a level 4 on INES, one person must have died from radiation.

Impact on people and environment
Minor release of radioactive material unlikely to result in implementation of planned countermeasures other than local food controls.
At least one death from radiation.

ZERO people have died from radiation. No one has received a dose that will show a statistically detectable increase in cancer, even (some might, but there are so few exposed at that level that it cannot be proved to be beyond random cancers (basically the "50" (really 180))).
A 5 requires
several deaths.
Technically it's not even a 4. I think minus arbitrary death counts (meaning completely abandoning the standard resulting in the "7" they claim), it's probably a 5-6.
Meanwhile, there are still 28,000 dead—most all from the tsunami.
If all 28,000 dead were wrongly attributed to Fukushima (over 4X Chernobyl), nuclear would
still be safer than solar, lol.
