    Gundersen: Interesting, there was a Japanese study calling the explosion in Unit 3 a detonation not a deflagration.

    There’s no containment in the world that can withstand a detonation shockwave.

    That’s something the nuclear industry doesn’t want to address.

    [...]

    Unit 1′s had an explosion but it was a deflagration. Unit 3′s explosion, by authorities other than Arnie  Gundersen, are now calling it a detonation… That means the shockwave travels faster than the speed of sound and it cracked the concrete or the steel

    [...]

    Caldicott: But it was related to the nuclear fuel?

    Gundersen: Yes, but the rate it which it grew I won’t call it a nuclear explosion.
