I don't know which one was worse. Does anybody?
I do know which one killed more rescuers though, regardless of whose fault it was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#Human_impac... vs. Fukushima's "As of September 2012, there were no deaths or serious injuries due to direct radiation exposures."
Which is why I think the OP is demonstrably wrong. Impregnated jackets and shovels can't help with seawater leaks -- the two incidents are just too different.
Apologies for the "send to death" wording, that was clumsy.
