Calling the local news is completely random and stupid. Furthermore, this kind of explosion is basically impossible with the current US model for nuclear power plants. The plant would most likely be placed on standby following an error appearing. The kinds of temperatures it would take to cause a 'melt down' would be quite obvious when you factor in the elaborate safety precautions American engineers take when running a nuclear power plant. Even if there was a problem it is quite implausible that an explosion of the magnitude you described would occur.
