Fukushima now like Chernobyl in problems it is creating

Chernobyl was really awful. But it was also simple. It was just one reactor that eventually exploded and scattered radiation all over. Fukushima is many reactors and also many cooling pools   in varying states of horror and difficulty including partial meltdowns. Because of Fukushima's present state it is quite likely that in the end over time it will become far worse than Chernobyl. This last sentence is my personal opinion just observing the situation evolving. From my point of view as both an observer and as an intuitive this is much like watching a really bad train wreck in slow motion, only we have just now only barely seen the two front engines collide and haven't yet seen what happens to the full load of passengers in both trains.
