If previous happenings included people being hurt to a degree much more minor than this, it would probably have been a kid standing too close to a door when somebody opened it. Thusly: "of no major nature".
And, again, whose lives were threatened? There is a major difference between the endangerment to the life of a reactor-core operator and that of a lucky-one-in-a-million citizen some hundreds of miles away. That operator may very well have screwed himself up as well, which would be embarrassing enough to want to cover up.
In what way? It's both lying to conveniently get myself out of punishment.
It is quite possibly because of either evacuation or suppression of information that prevents you from knowing exact death tolls. Its hard to say which.
The only thing definite is supression of information.
The problem is that Japan lied about the same sort of things (power plant issues). You're talking about lying about a small thing and comparing it to lying about a major thing.
Edit: in other news stereo was right about this being different from chernobyl.

Except it might actually be worse.
