Fukushima was about as bad as it can get, and was a stupendous example of the swiss cheese effect. A whole multitude of extreme events far in excess of normality combined together in a perfect storm.
That said, the anti-atomic knee-jerk reaction after Fukushima by Greens and Antis was, although sort of understandable in the short-term, bordering on the rather rediculous.
Sadly as with all things in life, there's no magic silver bullet to solve the problem of generating energy. Advantages/disadvantages for everything, swings and roundabouts. Inevitably there will be some sort of negative consequence which will make someone moan, whether it be nuclear fuel disposal, spoiling the landscape, cost, noise, not enough capacity, emissions, use of finite resources, compliance with rules/regs, blah de blah de blah, ad nauseum. Whatever method is chosen there will be some sort of negative consequence that will need to be lived with.
The problem with Greens/Antis is that they never come up with any reasonable compromise or idea. Its their way or no way. For example, despite all the vast improvements in fuel economy, noise pollution etc. the Antis are still completely opposed to aviation and in their view the only way to "solve" he "problem" is to, and I quote from the notorious organisation "Plane Stupid", "Bring the aviation industry down to Earth". And so it is with their view on nuclear power. Antis moan about emissions - energy source with little or no emissions is available - Antis still against it. The Watermelons will seemingly never be happy until most forms of transport and technology are wiped from the face of the Earth, we're all eating lentils and wearing sandals.
Back on topic, this is a rather farcical incident and makes a mockery of supposed "security".
