Odd, I am actually on your side, but I prefer to be quite exact when it comes to this. And I prefer to deal with facts, which are horrific enough.
For example, if the pool on reactor 4 falls down, we may have (will actually) something that will make a certain russian reactor look like a walk in the park. and a pile reactor to boot due to lack of water and renewal of criticality, and since there is nothing between it and the open air, that will spread the crap at much higher levels and much faster than Chernobyl. That is horrific enough.
And due to that criticality, depending on how fast it goes, you may even have another one of what the scientists have described but not as a fission bomb. They are responsible and they know the difference. You should educate yourself on that as well.
No, I am not going to tell you to go eat your bananas either... and if you have no idea what that is about, running gag from the first week when yes, our pro nuke folks were telling us this was not going to be any worst than eating a banana.
Now the PHYSICS of a mushroom cloud is quite simple and easy to understand, so is the shockwave. All explosiona have the latter as a component by the way.
As to the MSM, I just showed you the difference of what you are implying. It is there.
