Its not an end of the world scenario anymore than Chernobyl was. Though for the the local areas and people, it is and is going to be devastating.
I believe the atmospheric pollution is being overly hyped compared to the years of above aground nuclear testing that was done prior to the move to underground testing. Doesn't mean it not a concern. But to say the entire world is going suffer a disaster a reach.

it is dubbed about 4x the chernobyl. radiation already found in whales. that 'buffer' pacific ocean, is actually a huge chunk of the world ecosystem. whatever affects it, will affect all of the world eventually.
chernobyl killed millions indirectly in the zones it affected through atmospheric dissemination.

however this is something that has been kept quite dark by western media. especially think thanks doing lobbying for nuclear lobbies.
