You may have missed it in translation but that was an explanation for the 1979 movie title "The China Syndrome".
Obviously a meltdown to the earth's core would miss China just a bit, and Godzilla isn't real.
http://en.wikipedia...._China_Syndrome
"The title refers to the concept that, if an American nuclear plant melts down, the core will melt through the Earth until it reaches China (see China Syndrome). China is simply a popular metaphor, as the opposite side of the globe from the USA is actually the Indian Ocean."

I worked at a nuke plant for 24 years.In modern reactors, all a meltdown is going to do is prevent the operator from using that reactor ever again.
That means the power generation is out, the company that owns it takes a big loss in revenue plus clean up costs.
It takes years to build a plant. The loss in power for japan is pretty severe. They can't make it up by buying more oil. They can't even import power from overseas.
The country will need to build some new plants quickly because I'm willing to bet they don't have that kind of spare capacity.
Ignore the hysteria listen to dcengr.
The probable outcome is a core melt & a destroyed reactor like TMI.
Nuclear power plants are not nuclear bombs.
Nuclear cores do not melt through the earth.
Global warming does not cause earthquakes.

Defenders of the status quo are always stronger than reformers seeking change,
UNTIL the status quo self-destructs from its own corruption, and the reformers are free to build on its ashes.

No doubt many rumors are floating about.
"Japanese authorities are making plans to distribute stable iodine, a treatment to prevent radiation poisoning, to residents near two damaged nuclear plants, the International Atomic Energy Agency says."
Here's one story which I can believe after watching the videos:
Officials: Nearly 9,500 people unaccounted for in the town of Minamisanriku -

Nearly 5.1 million Japanese homes without power, according to Tokyo Electric Power Company -

So very sad.
