Elephant's Foot

The "Elephant's Foot" is just the biggest formation, but it is really a small part of all the fuel that was in the reactor. The explosion forced down the reactor base and melted material had poured out of the reactor vessel and spilled into the rooms and corridors below. In this way, the reactor is empty and fuel is not concentrated in one place. This is sort of good news, because it reduces the chances of another chain reaction.

You would be dead in one hour.

Those guys risked their lives just to see what was happening down there, and considering the situation a lot of stuff was on the line, something awful could have happened if no-one could see. Also, I heard that the ionizing radiation was so intense that being able to directly see it would be enough to kill you, the walls absorbed just enough that you wouldn't be killed outright, enough to keep a risky maneuver from being meaninglessly suicidal.

@dachhh It's not too hard to figure out what will happen. All one needs is an estimate of viscosity and the knowlege that heavy shit flows downhill. Besides, on can never predict which compartments will be breached; perhaps the toroidal containment might get damaged - one never knows. I agree with the Professor.
