Thanks for the link. They shut the reactor down when the wind hits 73 mph, maintain emergency cooling while the residual heat cooks off, and wait. None of the conditions leading to Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, or Fukushima are present (unexpected loss of cooling to the core, mainly). Plenty of time and resources to stabilize.
