Yes, Ted,

these are not fission chips.

Meltdown at Fukushima would mean that the cores would melt and stick  
to the bottom of their steel containers.  There is no reason to expect  
any explosion, but viewers in their homes might automatically think of  
some kind of bomb-like explosion being possible.  The Fukushima cores  
are not cooled with graphite, so would not create such a fire in the  
way that happened at Chernobyl.

The 50 workers there are heroes and are hailed for their incredible,  
yet stoically workaday, bravery.  As are the thousands of workers and  
volunteers in the tsunami and earthquake regions.

All the best, and don't be too afraid of your sushi,

Peter
