>There was and will not be any significant release of radioactivity from the damaged Japanese reactors. By “significant” I mean a level of radiation of more than what you would receive on – say – a long distance flight, or drinking a glass of beer that comes from certain areas with high levels of natural background radiation.

I think this post offers a different lesson in rationality at this point, given recent events.

MIT's Nuclear Science and Engineering group has a website based on Oehmen's post (which they've taken over and tweaked for technical accuracy) that is also a good source of well-vetted information.
