[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 1487005, member: 4953"] From the OPs link "However, The New York Times reported that a small group of workers remained at the plant, contrary to what an English translation of the cabinet secretary's remarks had implied. About 45 minutes after the surge, radiation levels near the plant came back down, Edano said. It's possible that evaporation from reactor No. 3 may have caused the temporary surge, Edano said, although that can't be immediately confirmed. " Sounds like they are working their tails off and sometimes have to pull back due to radiation surges. I do not believe we are going to see a Chernobyl even if they melt down. Even if it were Chernobyl did not kill off hundreds of thousands of people. From wiki about Chernobyl. "In the aftermath of the accident, 237 people suffered from acute radiation sickness, of whom 31 died within the first three months.[61][62] Most of these were fire and rescue workers trying to bring the accident under control, who were not fully aware of how dangerous exposure to the radiation in the smoke was.
