Do you have a source for that? What I've read suggests that the towns involved are seen as safe to return to:

The main problems from what I've seen are psychological and social. Which are still real problems. One expert says:

"We know from Chernobyl that the psychological consequences are enormous. Life expectancy of the evacuees dropped from 65 to 58 years -- not [predominately] because of cancer, but because of depression, alcoholism and suicide. Relocation is not easy, the stress is very big. We must not only track those problems, but also treat them. Otherwise people will feel they are just guinea pigs in our research." -- http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/studying-the-fukus...
