Only complete jackasses have the attitude of "meh" given the official government story at this point..........
Non-retards understand that radiation isn't magic. It's tied to physical particles, which don't teleport across the Pacific Ocean.

yuk......yuk........ I love magic..........
First, I see no evidence that the Fukushima meltdown is at present worse than Chernoble. However, the potential is far greater if the spent rods go critical.
That being said, the potential for damage from global warming is a certainty. Just on a longer time frame.
The cores are in the pressure vessels. We know this because there is zero plutonium or uranium contamination.
The spent rods can't go critical. No, dropping a rod can't do it. The designers of the pools aren't morons. There's no neutron reflector around it, the spacing is wider, so it's not possible to get the necessary neutron multiplication.
The spent rods in the pools could have melted down when they had freshly pulled fuel rods in them. At Fukushima, they can't melt down now, even if the water is drained. 2.5 years later, the decay heat has decayed too far down.
Has zero experience with nuclear power. He got a political appointment at DoE, which he was soon after fired from after he was caught running a pot farm. And while marijuana is not bad, flagrantly breaking the laws of the land after you swore to uphold them does represent a certain degree of moral iffiness. Not to mention the simple awful judgement of a 54-year-old high-level federal employee trying to run a pot farm. Oh, he was also married to a professional (as in, made a living off it) anti-nuke activist.Mr. Robert Alvarez ....

That's typical of leaders of the current nuclear panic crowd. Technically clueless, morally iffy, and with a history of making a profit through hyping anti-nuke hysteria. Frauds, that is. Arnie Gundersen is the other one with a history of fraud running back for many years.
Now, the issue of contaminated water. Few of these stories bother saying just what the level of contamination in the water is. They just scream that it's a world-destroying catastrophe in the making. But after searching, I found it.

The operator said it had found strontium-90 at 30 times Japans safety limit in groundwater near its No. 2 reactor

So, thirty times nuthin' is ... carry the ten ... still nearly nuthin'. No, you shouldn't drink such water regularly, but even if you did drink only such water for the rest of your life, it would probably do ... nothing. Slightly elevated cancer risk. So that's what the current mega-panic is about. Instead of declaring the imminent end of humanity, the more rational response would be to post a "no fishing" sign in the area.
Dosage matters. Those "contaminated" tuna had 3% more radiocaesium than pre-fuku. For comparison, you'd still get more radiation from eating a banana than from eating an entire tuna.
