I see people saying there will be a "steam explosion" if it hits the water table?

As I understand it, when the molten core comes in contact with water it doesnt create steam, the core strips away the oxygen atomsfrom the water and creates two hydrogen atoms, so the explosion will actually be a hydrogen/oxygen explosion.

Is this right?
