Title: The hunt for Chernobyl’s nuclear fuel (Clip from NOVA – Inside Chernobyl’s Sarcophagus)
Uploader: ENENEWS
Upload Date: Oct. 31, 2011
Excerpts
- Fuel located by seeing concrete steaming from the heat of nuclear mass beneath it.
- Explosion dislodged sand surrounding reactor, which mixed with melted fuel, glassifying the mixture.
- Years, later however everything has changed radically.
- The hardened fuel is like Swiss cheese.
- The top scientists discovered there is “solidified uranium” inside the lava.
- If it gets into contact with water, far more dangerous than normal lava, radioactively much more dangerous.

And I thought this is some happy news. Now you “damn anti-nukes fear-mongers” destroy all hope that I ever had of not giving a damn about Old Black Bill’s solidified *&^%#.
Great site. Thank you very much!

Exactly, this stuff is incredibly dangerous and will remain so for thousands of years, whether it just sits there and thinks or alternatively starts going bang! again.
What a malign inheritance we have left for our descendants.

Well, Chernobyl’s solid corium (not molten) has been heating up, which is what coriums do for 250,000 years. All out criticality? I’m not sure if that will occur but the corium will get hotter and hotter and may recoalesce into a geometry and mass which could support criticality with production of dust that would include more and more plutonium and other radionuclides with each criticality cycle. In the meantime, the dust is intensely toxic, and the spalling is increasing.
