The main point here is that the cleanup "efforts" are shit and aren't doing anything, and that the exact nature and seriousness of Fukushima is being downplayed on a global scale.
For one thing, I've yet to see many people acknowledge the fact that the other reactors will meltdown sooner or later, because of the ongoing failure to contain the first one.
So imagine this problem, but with 4 reactors no one can clean up spewing radiation into the ocean. That's what we have in store, and what is being downplayed and ignored by MSM.
