Wasn't the explosion the outer building and wasn't it designed with blow out panels? The reactor did not blow up. The containment is still intact.

“The containment is still intact”

correct. There are still big problems if cesium is being detected outside of the vessel.

My addendunm to the headline was not clear. ahould say “the building around the containment vessel” (most likely a hydrogen explosion)

Personally I think restricting the building new technologically advanced reactors increases the danger in America.

We’re forced to rely on nuclear plants far past their intended service life because new ones aren’t being built.
