Btw the Fuki reactor no 1 was built by GE in 1970. That the reactor vessel has managed to survive all of this trauma and not result in a meltdown is a testament to our engineering and excellent Japanese and foreign engineers. This reactor is also a very simple design which is easy to manage.

TMI was a reactor with a pressure steam component in it that amplified the complexity of the plant and help contribute to the TMI accident.

Now that the hydrogen problem is gone thanks to the explosion, cooling the reactor vessel should be a lot easier although I know the public is freaked out by the sight of an explosion.

An H2 explosion is a lot better than huge volumes of Krpton gas and fuel getting outside in an area where transportation gas been completely severed from the outside world.
