That's not to say it won't be a long road to recovery. Remember to keep things in perspective. I just saw on Drudge that they have 27,000 reported dead or missing in the larger disaster. That is the real tragedy. The reactors have caused no fatalities and a handful of injuries. That said, they'll have to keep working as hard as they can on the Fukushima situation, but on balance they have a lot of other things on their plate as well.
I think it's just the nature of some of us to try to think several steps ahead and evaluate possible outcomes. It probably has more to do with the type of careers we've had than some personal trait. Depending upon your own situation, that can be either a good or bad thing.
