It is worsening, absolutely. But if they abandon now, there will definitively be four reactor meltdowns, rather than one.

Perhaps the government is forcing the private workers to stay on the job, in spite of saying it became a volunteer operation a couple days ago. I'm grateful those workers take their jobs seriously.
