My favorite disease "what if" is what would happen if there was a disease with a really extreme mortality rate but also also created 'typhoid marys" frequently. Like a disease that was likely to kill you ebola fast but if you survived would develop into a chronic condition that you would remain infectious for many years or forever. Could the modern would handle large scale leper colonies? Is there a point where simply euthanizing people would be the only choice?

Fukushima did automatically shut down. It didn't melt down or anything, big objects just mashed it around until stuff fell out that was radioactive, there was no nuclear reaction part of the failure like chernobyl or something.
