The comparisons to Chernobyl are really misleading. Yes, the accident now has the same classification as Chernobyl, but that's only because the scale stops at 7 (Major Accident). This is a Major Accident, and so was Chernobyl. But Chernobyl was still much, much worse than Fukushima so far, but it can't be classified any higher because that is high as the scale goes.
