Italy is a freak show.
England during WWII would be a better example, but no longer today.
Japan is a highly insular culture. The people accept and desire uniformity. They have nuclear reactors blowing up everywhere at this moment, yet there is no panic.
The message from the government is calm and consistent. There is little panic and no civil unrest.
If we had one reactor blow off its outer containment in California, half the state would be Idaho within a week.

Another mistake.
