I would like to point out the well-known at this time. This has turned out not to be a scare-mongering media-frenzy at all: http://www.businessinsider.com/fukushima-nuclear-plant-2011-3 http://www.businessinsider.com/fukushima-nuclear-plant-2011-...

But the plant is shut down already, and being cooled down. Most of the fuel is contained in the plant case, so I would like to ask people to be calm.”) Therefore, there has already been a partial meltdown. Your folks' anti-FUD was appreciated, but ultimately this is quite a bad accident after all, and at especially the Business Insider site article, not overblown or using incorrect verbage.
