pebble based system You are suggesting tearing down one or more light water plants and replacing it with a much smaller unit. Please read up on what the pebble bed technology is. Power plants are not refineries that can be changed out as you suggest.

Will do. Sorry if I seemed flippant and thanks for your very knowledgeable comments.

As I'm learning, especially any involved in a partial meltdown or otherwise.

I've actually gotten off track in pursuit of an answer to the question, "is a meltdown with containment breach possible in this particular design". From what I've heard so far, while highly unlikely, it is possible.
