Just to give some scale to the show's ignorance, a Level 6 Nuclear Accident is something like the Kyshtym disaster, where 80 tons of highly radioactive material were released into the atmosphere. Level 5 Accidents include Three Mile Island and Goiânia, where 250 people were heavily contaminated and 5 died from the direct consequences of Cesium-137 exposure (without counting cancer victims, miscarriages and children born with severe problems). Most Level 4 Accidents actually caused at least some deaths, so the classification of Fukushima at Level 4, despite official, may be a bit premature.
