Although I do appreciate you offering reassurance, the experts always reassure us that things will be fine as long as "they can keep cooling the reactor down after the SCRAM."

It didn't work out that well at Harrisburg back in late 1970's. So I do hope this incident is stopped, with the situation normalized by now.
