MELTDOWN 101
IT WASNT WATER! water is used in a reactor to produce steam, which ALSO provides cooling to keep the reaction stable. when a reactor shuts down, the control rods are dropped into the reactor core stopping the nuclear reaction, these rods are still “HOT”, the problem is there is a different system to cool the core when the reactor is scrammed because the turbines are no longer being used. this system takes over the flow of WATER in the reactor. the problem lies in the fact that the control rods are displacing the cooling WATER creating less coolant in the reactor to cool the rods, then the water begins to boil, compounding the problem because bubbles (steam) do not cool the rods creating a cascading failure, and releasing that steam reduces the pressure which in itself makes the water boil more(like your car radiator overheating). so the last thing you want in the reactor thats melting down is water! Whatever was sent had an extremely high boiling point and also more than likely had an element/mineral (27-4 perhaps a synthetic version of it?) to absorb the radiation in the core to “cool” the rods. If the reactor core is melting down, which is very possible, the cooling needed is more to stop the nuclear reaction. in which case water is 100% useless. put your frying pan on the stove turn it on high for 15 minutes then drip water into the pan 1 drop at a time, I think you get the picture? the only solution is to turn off the source of heat. I only pray that they only needed antifreeze. as you can see, the problem is more complex than add water...... that would compare to throwing water on a grease fire, you not only didn’t put out the fire, you showered the kitchen with flaming grease. get It now?
