Core meltdown is a seven. They denied that for weeks. Now I know these Nuke companies all over the world are not famous for lying, or are they? It is as serious as it gets and it doesn't go away. It's not the common cold. I'm not trying to scare anyone but just acknowledge the realities of Nuclear power to turn a profit and then there's the downside. Isn't it obvious why they are uninsurable?
Core meltdown is not a seven. I don't remember if the companies denied it but I know the Japanese government was not willing to say it fit until they couldn't take the pressure by the international community any longer.
A seven
"major releases of radioactive material with widespread health and environmental effects requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures."
It failed to reach this level by a large margin. The problem with the measuring of the International Nuclear event scale is that there isn't enough levels to accurately describe the level of disasters. The way seven is described nothing at the moment touches it.
