Melt-Through Simulation Created by Japan’s METI Well Before #Fukushima, EX-SKF, July 22, 2011:
This animation was created by the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization, a government corporation under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (which regulates the nuclear industry), to train Senior Specialists for Nuclear Emergency Preparedness on the severe accident of loss of cooling, using a Mark-1 Boiling Water Reactor.

They must have known all along that it was not even a meltdown but melt-through. [...]
At 2:30 in
[...] Corium melts through the concrete floor of the pedestal and drops to the floor of the Containment Vessel. [...]

Early commentary by ‘experts’ suggested that BWR’s didn’t pack enough punch to suffer a meltdown. Good to know that this was actually mentioned in the ‘Nuclear Power for Dummies’ syllabus, it gives you more confidence in their expertise… well, it would if they had remembered (or thought to mention) it.
