We may not have focused closely enough on "hydrogen venting" as it was attempted in the early phase of this disaster. Researchers are now concluding that the venting system as designed by General Electric failed to function triggering the hydrogen explosions which crippled reactor Units 1-3. Here's a report prepared by Bellona (The Bellona Foundation is an international environmental NGO based in Norway. Founded in 1986 as a direct action protest group, Bellona has become a recognised technology and solution-oriented organization with offices in Oslo, Brussels, Washington D.C., St. Petersburg and Murmansk): Click here for report

Many other nuclear reactors around the world, including those in the States, depend on this same venting system.
