Questionable at this point[ cancer has probably started tagging esp the oldfags who voluntered to clean up in the aftermath who didn't have much left to lose ], but even if true -- for sure it could have been a lot worse, and the designs did do their job. But it wasn't a good enough design, and they know that now. Japanese nuclear engineers are learning from this.
