One can put the Fukushima incident into some much needed perspective by reading the following article authored by Professor Richard Muller of the Physics Department at University of California - Berkeley. Professor Muller is also the author of the much acclaimed book, "Physics for Future Presidents" which he wrote as an adjunct to the physics course for non-scientific majors that he teaches at UC - Berkeley. Here is Professor Muller's perspective on Fukushima:

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
