Actually, early on we learned they asked for OUR help and Obama put unacceptable conditions on that request.

That just reenforced my point. The reactors were toast. They tried to save them to the point of refusing outside help. I disagree with just about everything obama does but, saving the plants was out of the question. Endangering the lives of our people. Wasting our time, effort, and resources for a fools errand is ridiculous.
