WHO is lukewarm as a source, and they admit that their predictions are based on models and I might add on the assumption that we don't have a meltdown. The freakout is about the difficulty of cleanup and the chance of meltdown, which is only a chance. IF that meltdown did occur it would blow all previous meltdowns out of the water with regard to toxic release. IF it does not happen then what, me worry? I'm not a worrier anyway, but I find it interesting that people's attitudes range from frantically packing their belongings (as a bunch just did from this town, admittedly guided by visions or god or somesuch) to you who is certain that it is overblown and harmless. I think the truth is in between the extremes.
