The problem Dave relates, that of further meltdown and steam

Earthwide, however, not a big deal, for the same reason - dilution.
If it goes on for a LONG time, like years, I suppose it could have
effects on populations of nearby Pacific Islands, assuming favorable
wind patterns...but I'd have to see some better analysis to be
convinced.

That, from a die-hard environmentalist.

You can't dilute radioactive particles and make them less mutagenic; you
are just dispersing them more.

When the secondary containment of F.D. reactor 3 exploded three days
into the incident its spent fuel (waste) pond was pulverized and the
contents were scattered for many kilometers around the plant. At that
point the incident was in Chernobyl category 7 territory, but the
authorities were afraid to panic rescue workers away from the region.

Oops... I Agree With Dave :
It's Dangerous & It's Deadly
and The Ostrich Act Won't Make It Go Away

I could say the same thing to you about SO MANY things. Tell ya what
- get out some real numbers and real math, because that's what I deal
in, and then we can talk.
