It was about 200 feet high at the time.

That shuts down the chain reaction.

Given that protium accounts for some 99.9% of all hydrogen, that would be the make up of the gas produced from the zirconium / water reactions.

BBC reports that the backup diesel generators used to supply site power are out of commission and power from the electrical grid is not available either. So as a result, not all of the cooling systems are available.

Plus domestic production is actually higher that Canada and Mexico combined. Just another excuse to gouge the public. It's like orange juice. A freeze occurs in Florida and the next day the juice already on the store shelves suddenly jumps in price.
