The situation will not stabilize until next year sometime to boot....
....and TEPCO is having a hard time saying exactly how they will get it stabilized even then. The cleanup will be difficult to get going until the radiatoactive emissions stop. Then you're talking about heavy isotope removal, a process that will probably be a nightmare for decades. And as bad as it is on land, the prevailing winds went out to ocean, so it's also contaminated an untold amount of the adjacent oceans, including life forms living in it.

Where are the robots?
Since humans can't go in there to fix things, where are the nuclear safety robots? Concidering how many nuclear plants there are in the world, like over 60 in France alone, why hasn't anyone built cleanup robots yet? They would certainly be more important than laserguided missiles and all the other cr@p that the military all over the world spend billions on.

Bad News
This is certainly bad news, and I do feel bad for the people in the area, especially those who have been displaced from land in their families for generations.

However, just to keep the tally straight. At this point it's tsunami:10,000 nuclear: 0

excellent sourcing!
Quote the hysterics, who are not professionals with expertise in nuclear power, but do not quote those who do have such expertise and have different, much calmer conclusions. Here you have the bias of that segment of Greens who are in the sway of fossil-fuel-funded propaganda. Instead, for a scientific approach to these matters, perhaps read atomicinsights.com and djysrv.blogspot.com and many others.
