3 Mile Island is pretty overblown, sure there was a release of s small amount of radiation. But it pales in comparison to the radiation that was in the atmosphere when the big boys were doing their high altitude tests in the 50's and 60's. No one was exposed to dangerous amounts of radiation, the highest exposure was the equivilant of 1/3 your annual exposure.
I think the point everyone is trying to make is, the nuclear concern should be secondary to the actual humanitarian crisis going on in Japan. Instead the coverage has focused on the power plants, and not on the thousands of people missing.
