Why would fuel melting be possible? The way I'd show it is by having the increased Doppler broadening and thermal conductivity and lots of headroom make that so

- pfdietz 2y agoPresumably, those operating EBR-1 and Fermi-1 (and SRE in California, which also melted down) didn't think those would melt either. The issue is showing by analysis such an occurrence is not possible. It's not incumbent on anyone to show it is possible, it's incumbent on the prospective licensee to show it isn't.
