Neither does it indicate meltdown. All hydrogen explosions indicate is that the core is hot enough to disassociate water. This is strictly a function of temperature.

Temperature increase is what causes the meltdown.

True, but the temperature required to disassociate hydrogen is quite lower than the temp required for meltdown.

375 degrees Celsius is sufficient, whereas meltdown requires several thousand.
