Fukushima survived an earthquake and then a tsunami before partly going prompt critical. The meltdown was incredibly controlled compared to Chernobyl.

    That...is remarkable brain acrobatics to paint Fukushima somehow in a good light. Tell that shit to yourself. The lucky thing that happened to them was the wind blowing seawards, and not towards Tokyo, else they'd have to evacuate a 30 million inhabitant metropolis. That's not an achievement of well controlled technology.
