I haven't seen any official comparison here. What I have seen is statements
playing the game of 'if', responding to drama-hungry journalists.
Must be terrible over there now, with the uncertainty over which way the
situation will swing.

Indeed. I am most worried by the fact that (judging from our local news
agencies) Japanese officials started using word "Chernobyl" and
comparing their situation directly to Chernobyl catastrophe.
The current situation at Fukushima is nowhere near a 'Chernobyl'
situation. Chernobyl was something entirely different, with the
resulting explosion pushing highly radioactive material well into the
atmosphere where it was carried by prevailing currents far across the
world.
Fukushima (at time of writing) is still very localised, even if there is
radioactive material venting.
