and, it's not Chernobyl, it's potential is much worse. If anything that stops the water from keeping the molten slag of fuel rods cool... it heats up and melts right through the floor all the way down to the water table. The resulting explosion as super heated nuclear material hits water will throw material dozens of kilometers in all directions (not to mention that some will make it into the upper atmosphere where it will be carried to who knows where - but west coast of US is very likely).
The worlds biggest "dirty bomb".
