“It is obviously an hydrogen explosion ... due to hydrogen igniting. If the hydrogen has ignited, then it is gone, it doesn’t pose any further threat.”
“The whole situation is quite serious but the actual hydrogen explosion doesn’t add a great deal to it.”
He said it was “most unlikely to be a major disaster” and he also did not believe there would be a full fuel meltdown.
“That would have been much more likely early yesterday in the European time. We are now 24 hours into the situatiuon and the fuel has cooled a lot in that time and the likelihood of meltdown at this stage I would think would be very, very small.”
It may very well not be “all well,” but no one says it is. Some are trying to provide perspective. Those on site know damn well it’s not “all well” but it’s not necessarily the end, either.
Perspective is quite important in any situation.
