I said "We do have nuclear power stations which can and do explode...."
You said "Wrong."

Only Fukushima exploded.

And that was _NOT_ a nuclear explosion but conventional hydrogen
gas (which came from decomposition of water and collected).

Sure, but he never said nuclear explosion, just explode.

It isn't physically possible to create a supercritcal mass
from the low-enriched commercial reactor fuel.

Sure, but he wasn't talking about a supercritical mass.

The biggest risk of something bad at TMI was, in fact, the potential
of a H2 explosion there but were able to get it vented without having
such an incident. With the tsunami at Fukushima, the ability to have
hands on site and take corrective action was too severely limited to
be able to have any timely mitigating actions.
