Unfortunately, it's not all a radioisotope of iodine, radioisotope of cesium has also be detected and it's half life is considerably longer than merely 8 days.

Nuclear accidents are serious matters, of course, particularly at the point of the accident itself, but nothing I've seen yet suggests that the issues at the plant will compare even remotely to the devastation already inflicted by the earthquake and tsunami, even factoring in long term effects.

Does Cs accumulate biologically the same way? I know I and Sr are hazardous because they are either identical (I) or very similar (Sr/Ca) to elements that are accumulated.
Looks like there was a failure of the cladding, but less of the Cs will have been emitted than would have been possible in a Chernobyl-type failure because Cs is solid and there wasn"t an explosion.
