This is garbage news, and the guy is just promoting his TV show.

About 1/3 of the core at Three Mile Island 'liquefied' during the accident. Even if the entire core liquefied in Japan (probably true with the amount of time they went with no cooling), it ain't liquid today. It's now a rock-solid ball of bad stuff that will have to be chiseled out and disposed of just like the Three Mile Island core was.

The China Syndrome was always just a movie.

TMI even with just a partial core melt, still broke through a control rod solenoid seal at the bottom of the reactor. The corium flow was stopped inside the control rod mechanism tubing. Technically it had broke out through one of the RPV seals. The seals are just welds.
