Jim.. imagine the heat sink created by all that water around the reactor vessel, the fuel creating heat but to have that volume of cooler water to try and heat, I just don't think it will happen and the core will cooll

Veenie... it would be interesting to compare our predictions to what actually happened

elaine, that write up ,, at least the last part sounded like legal jargon..

my estimation - months..... flooding with a huge water heat sink may be shorter time

I was reading that detonation risk can be lowered by use of catalytic hydrogen recombiners
by dean 5/6/2011 8:46:30 PM

books.google.com do a search on corium and the catalytic hydrogen recombiners
