Apologies - I had skimmed the sentence immediately preceding the one I quoted, although it does contradict what you'd said. They wouldn't have welcomed it melting through the ground (just melting or otherwise) for the very reasons given by yourself.

There was no need for the rolling eyes smilie though. Why is everybody becoming so aggressive on this forum these days? Everybody seems to take offence at the slightest remark or be incapable of holding any kind of conversation without being prickly.

No worries, mate, I wasn't being a bit prickly, just drawing attention to it

.
However, as I said " if it was a simple case of menting* it's way though the ground", I thought it was clear I was aware it wasn't viable and was referring to a simple "China Syndrome" scenario where it melted through towards the core. So no contradiction.

Down here I was very interested but having to rely on news reports, as one of the older European chaps, what do you remember of the disaster as it unfolded, and in the years that followed??

*Note, I left the typo in
