Liquifaction (if it did occur) was only a transient phenomenon -- probably within a day of the initial accident.

Criticality (if it did occur) has long since been quenched by "dilution" of the corium with things like melted concrete, etc.

The largest source of heating was decay of short half-life fission products -- and they are long-since decayed.

BOTTOM LINE: the worst-case occurred, it passed, we survived it, and now temperatures are down below the boiling point of water.

Learning to read is highly recommended...

Now you are asking all posters to actually read the linked article and absorb it? Jeeze the traditions of this website are daily being done away with and we are going to hell-ina-handbasket.

I suppose the next thing will be that we have to stay on topic?

Before long, we are going to have to have Onyx, Humblegunner and Laz certify every post before it uploads to the thread?
