The only thing we know is the claim that "for 20 minutes, workers were unable to obtain information about the condition of the reactor." Which means WHAT exactly? That they couldn't read core-thermocouple temperatures? Was there a loss of flow accident so the reactor's pumps weren't operating? Was there a loss of coolant accident? Was there a reactivity addition accident that lead to an abrupt shutdown with consequences? We don't know! We have one guy's claim that something bad happened and NOTHING else. And it passes for NEWS! What a CROCK! BUT...if they went without monitoring of core conditions for 20 minutes then it IS a serious event. That's a BAD THING. You have to know what conditions are in the primary plant all the time. On the other hand emergancy core cooling was available since the backup generators were there and running. Sheesh. What a totally lame bit of reporting.
