Forsmark 1 lost ... its director general

Lars Fagerberg was shown the door Thursday for the near melt-down last August. For background see Forsmark 1 lost power ....

... Sprinkling was activated in the containment. ... and The shift team ... prepared to activate the automatic depressurization system ...

The operators were prepared to breach into the containment vessel. What happens after that is a roll of many loaded dice. As recently as three years ago the Portland Press Herald editorialized on the predictability, and hence the safety, of nuclear reactors.

Actually not shocking. At least they had containment water, I forget what country my friends said didn't have the water, maybe England. He was an engineer on a nuclear power tour. I know Nukes are cleaner than Coal, but still being that close to one is scary to me. (Coal contains uranium that is burned untreated and put in the atmosphere with no controls.) At least you are on the West Coast were you don't get the Coal rain on your head.
