miss Zebra, right now I can't give you a straight answer, I've looked at the wiki-page and I still can't believe this is happening to the world.. there's much information on both incidents, and people look at these from all kind of viewpoints, yelling all kinds of 'supposed facts' about the severity of the damage, but one thing's for sure: after Fukushima nuclear industry can no longer be considered a safe, cheap and environmental-friendly solution to the demand for energy and many industrial sites world-wide are in trouble, today.. also, the big question of where and how to store nuclear waste is a huge problem ('officially' we're at 88.000 tonnes of it). personally, I believed from march 2011 on that Fukushima is and is going to be 'the big one', taking down all life with it and it's likely most governments and industries aren't equipped, prepared and trained for such a disaster and are trying to manage the best they can. there's people saying it's FAR WORSE than the official graphs, and some of them believe they're being lied to by their governments and the IAEA, on the other hand there's people saying 'nothing's wrong, except the tragic tsunami in Japan and any resulting meltdowns, incl. fallout that could be compared to Chernobyl, nature will in time recover.. in the case of Fukushima that will take 1.5 million years, but eventually the radiation will decay. apart from direct contamination of the atmosphere (incl. a plume of isotopes) in 2011, the main problem in Japan is the enormous amount of stored waste-water in tanks that are corroding and the constant exposure of the ground-water that is in direct contact with the world's oceans. TEPCO tried to stop that specific process by building an underground ice-wall, but not much result, yet. I've mentioned before that the only 'luck' we ever had, was the fact that Chernobyl could quite quickly be contained, while Fukushima has been 'leaking into the environment' for more than 8 years now and causes massive pollution. again, I use an arbitrary means to estimate this, because who would trust anybody on the side of 'authorities' in this field (they've too much to hide, too much money at stake, apart from legal issues/claims for compensation) and also who would believe environmentalists preaching doomsday-prophecies, while it seems, right now, it's mainly a local japanese problem, without any far-stretching global consequences, like an extinction-level-event. we'll wait and see, but as I claimed all the time, this time it's the west (usa, france) who is responsible, not the soviets, and because of that fact, I can't be too sure about the amount of covering-up and bagatalisation that is happening. there are indications, that indeed the severity of the damage is covered-up. independent research sometimes brings different figures. one more point, I think it's a shame we're left in the dark about this, while most regulations/legislation with regard to nuclear industry was very, very strict about this before, TEPCO is complying to the law as much as they can on, for instance, this site
http://www.simplyinfo.org/ and 99% of the people aren't nuclear scientists, while the other 1% is NOT saying much, anymore, these days, are they?
