“They are looking at a Chernobyl type incident. “

Fukushima is a boiling water reactor, which is an old-school design, but not a Soviet RBMK. If it melts down it will be within containment.

It is that the device will melt and escape the containment vessel from what I last heard. I am in ipod mode now, and could care less.

It would however be interesting for the world to see on live video what vaporized concrete and steel looks like.
