On the upshot, this reactor cannot fail in the same crazy way that Chernobyl did. Sure, they're having to use seawater to wet grave the whole thing (seawater ought to stop this thing dead, its one of the best insulators we've got), but from what I've heard, the design is simply nowhere nearly as primitive as the 1950's era reactor that blew its lid in Russia.
The situation is more like Three Mile Island than Chernobyl.
