Exactly, thank you. :)

And thanks for the excellent post. Glad to see I was right that they managed to avert a core meltdown.

According to reports, that remains to be seen.

Looks like there must have been some fuel damage if they are still getting hydrogen explosions, like at the No. 3 unit recently. While there are other sources of hydrogen in any steam electric plant above a certain output (hydrogen cooling of turbogenerators, for example), the most likely source here is the steam-zirconium reaction. But it appears the primary containment is still intact, as designed. Hopefully, it will remain so.
