I read here on FR that nuke plants were meant to blow up and the end result of this disaster is no worse than working on a banana plantation.

Nuke plants aren’t meant to blow up. But fear and panic will kill more than the radiation will, when fear mongers have the field. Fortunately, they don’t. Rational adults are working this one through.
By the way, what are the risks and mortality rates of working on a banana plantation, or were you just blowing steam?
