The Question of the Day: How Bad is the Reactor Meltdown in Japan?
Not so bad according to this physicist, who seems to know what he is talking about.
On the other hand, from slashdot and newscientist
"The cumulative releases from Fukushima of iodine-131 and cesium-137 have reached 73% and 60% respectively of the amounts released from the 1986 Chernobyl accident.
These numbers were reached independently from a monitoring station in
Sacramento, CA, and Takasaki, Japan. The iodine and cesium releases are
due to the cooking off of the more volatile elements in damaged fuel
rods."
