Leave it to XKCD to make sense of it all.

I found the link following the OP-ED in the Guardian, which I actually have to agree with. Pro Nuclear Power!

Very useful indeed!

and http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/21/pro-nuclear-japan-fukushima ..

Was not half bad either. Still, I wonder what the worst case scenario for a nuclear reactor failure is. That information seems pretty hard to come by; either it is downplayed as too unlikely to mention, or it is hyped as the apocalypse - all depending on if you're an environmentalist or a nuclear proponent.

I'd like an answer to this question:

What are the effects of a complete core meltdown with a complete container breach and atmospheric release?

Given enough nuclear power plants and enough time, worst case scenarios happen. I want to know if this scenario is potentially irreversibly damaging on a global scale.

Another take from Information is Beautiful. Note the logarithmic scale.
