"meltdown" seems to trigger the idea of a huge explosion and the scattering of nuclear fallout for miles & miles to much of the general public.
That's because when fuel makes it through containment and into the water table, this is exactly what happens.
- sorbus 15y agoRadioactive material entering the water table causes huge explosions? And nuclear material in the water table falls out of the atmosphere[1]? Bullshit. Are you even paying attention to the claims you're making? [1] Fallout specifically refers to radioactive dust created by an explosion which then falls out of the atmosphere, contaminating the ground - it's radioactive dust, not a radioactive solution.

Thank you, sir.
