I hope you are right, but like I said earlier.. Time will tell.
Think of the reactor core as a light bulb. The light emmitted by the bulb isn’t blown or affected by the wind in any way. Radiation emitted directly from the core is very dangerous to those who have to be close to it and deal with it.
Fallout is the real danger here but fallout is dust, smoke, and steam that have been radiated and are carried by the wind. Fortunately those things have been pretty limited and haven’t been thrown miles into the air.
Chernobyl was many orders of magnitude worse than what we see in Japan. That reactor fire was hidden from the world for a long time and was a particularly dirty fire that dumped tons of radioactive material into the atmosphere.
In this case the Japanese have real reason for concern but its unlikely that we’ll get much in the way of measurable fallout here.
