However bad it was it could have been magnitudes worse if reactor 3 (the one with plutonium) had also exploded. Worst case the rain would have gone down over Tokyo (that is the most often wind direction). Meaning you would have had to evacuate 35 million people from the economic and political centre of the county. Not really doable. Also it would have cut the main island in halves, since it would be too dangerous to cross the central region. If you inhale it, Polonium can kill you with an amount that is effectivly too small to see.
