Completely different type of reactor core, so a Chernobyl style meltdown isn't possible.

a meltdown is a meltdown. Style is only important fashion.

Three mile island didn't explode. Chernobyl and this are well beyond that.

My point was that these reactors can't meltdown like the one in Chernobyl.

No, but there was at least one confirmed radiation release, and half the core of of the reactor DID melt down. That reactor is now permanently closed.

Its interesting, there are no experts out there that will commit to an opinion. The reason is it is far worse than anything they have seen and they all say we are in uncharted waters. But I do know that the fifty workers that are left are dead men walking. The firemen that responded to Chernobyl all died within a few months. They were buried in Moscow and visited by hundreds of thousands. They had to be dug up and moved, because their corpses were so irradiated they were dangerous...even six feet under.
