“Is this another Chernbyl...”

Absolutely NOT, Chernobyl was a grphite cored reactor, they were testing it and inadvertantly drained all of the coolant fromt he reactor then restarted it, the reactor melted down and burned through the floor.

In Japan, the reactor shut off automatically, there can be no reactor melt down.

this is the sort of thing the Enviroweenies luv to pounce on, rather then congratulating the Japanese engineers for sucha great design, they will scream about a spill...

I’ll bet a coalfired plant gives off more radiation in a day than leaked from this plant, just like the Three Mile Island incident.

No, some leaked water does not constitute a Chernobyl-type incident. There is no damage to the core.
