12. 3 reactors melted and at least one burning fuel pool

Chernobyl was just one reactor. Chernobyl was covered up with a sarcophagus and is under control - kinda sorta. Fukushima is not under control. The pacific is polluted with waste from all four of the buildings at Fukushima - tuna off the coast of California have been found with the pollution in them. Kelp, too. Cesium was sampled all over the US by the EPA.

Here is a live feed from TEPCO Fukushima. On the right background is the burned building #4, to the left of that is the ruins of #3, and further left is #2 and #1.
