Leading to pre-hydrogen explosions. the structures were intact. it was the lack of electricity that caused the damage. it caused the meltdown. thats worried about here. in addition, at this facility are several pools where theyve store this fuel. so even though the reactors have been shut down, you still have to cool the reactor rods, and if that plumbing, if that coup lint is interrupted, those two could heal up causing an explosion that -- will have material over tens of thousands of kilometer...
