Fukushima power plant is in deep trouble. All six reactors have experienced problems.
Around an hour ago the radioactive disaster was put to six by French authorities on the INES scale (International Nuclear Event Scale), which runs to seven.
In comparison, the Chernobyl disaster was a seven on the same scale.

Then why is every reputable source saying that things are under control and that the possibility of a meltdown is slim?

AAAAAH! LARGE PICTURES! EVERYONE FLEE!
Ok, for everyone who doesn't have the reading comprehension of a 6th grader, from what I understand even if the reactors melted there would be no radioactive release into the atmosphere. So there's really no reason to be concerned.
