Fukushima and Chernobyl

I'm sorry people, but Fukushima is NOT as bad as Chernobyl.  Everybody bases their opinions solely on that INES rating of 7.  First of all, Fukushima has only released 10% of the radioactive isotopes into the air that Chernobyl did.  The only reason it got the same rating was because of the total amount released and the amount of time required to clean it up.  Almost all of the radiation released from Fukushima went straight into the ocean. Yes, that's really bad, but not nearly as bad as being released to the air.  Since it was released into a freaking enormous body of water, it will be diluted to background levels in a relatively short period of time, and the only location in the water where they would have to worry about would be very near the leak.  Before any of the two people reading this blog think I'm being insensitive to Japan, please don't.  What happened there is a series of some of the worst accidents we've seen to date.  The reactors play a huge role in that and are causing massive amounts of damage.  All I wanted to accomplish with this blog post is to tell all of the misinformed people that Fukushima != Chernobyl.
