didn’t the boron/sand create a sort of lava?

The boron and sand added to the melted fuel rods and other materials of the core to form a large semi-solid stalagmite of magma called the “elephant’s foot” of what’s called corium which is radioactive at 70,000 mSv/hr (five minutes exposure is fatal to 100% of people).

The man who took this photo died.

thanks for the visual - much easier to understand than the movie reference of ‘lava’.

And, I love with your definition of moron. Well done !!
