Superheated steam, when catalyzed with zirconium (part of the fuel rod assembly), dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen gasses. This is a well-known and predicted phenomenon. Venting the superheated steam was done knowing full well that in the likely event of an explosion, the containment vessel would probably not be damaged.

Sorry, there are economical reactor designs which pose a very low risk of nuclear weapons proliferation, the CANDU family of designs being the most well-known. Civilan nuclear energy programs and military nuclear weapons programs are absolutely /not/ the same thing. Quit it with the FUD already.
