Despite the assurances being bandied by the media, "can't be Chernobyl, no flammable moderator and has containment vessel", there are three problems with assuming no worries: a spent fuel pool fire would outdo Chernobyl in shear volume of contamination release; the containment system is much less robust than the more usual containment buildings; and finally anything that makes the radiation level too high for humans to work at cooling is a game changer for the situation.
