The explosion at unit 3 was more like a nuclear bomb going off than a hydrogen explosion. The spent fuel pool suffered prompt re criticality, and the fuel rods were blown sky high. The flash of the explosion can be seen on the video. Hydrogen explosion don’t detonate like that. The worst is yet to come I’m afraid. What allows this sick story to go on is that the enemy (radiation) is invisible. Easy to fool people when they can’t see anything.
