If doesn't matter how many reactors have problems as long as the engineers can contain the radiation, regardless of whether the cores melt down or not. Bottom line for the public is what gets out. Only if a reactor starts spewing high levels of radiation into the surrounding environment does it makes sense to talk about it in the same league as Chernobyl.

I'm with Art. So far, there's so much obsessing about a potential disaster and ignoring the actual humanitarian disaster that we're still just understanding the scope of.
