Heat builds relentlessly inside a nuclear reactor core, pushing materials beyond their limits. The meltdown process starts when the core temperature exceeds 2,000 degrees Celsius, causing irreversible damage. During the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, the reactor core blazes beyond this limit, warping metal and igniting a catastrophic meltdown. At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, hydrogen gas forms and swells inside reactor buildings, increasing pressure dangerously. The hydrogen concentration tightens to a volatile 4%, ready to ignite and cause explosions that rupture containment. These failures unleash immense energy, transforming entire reactor sites into zones abandoned by humans due to unsafe conditions. Follow for one real science fact every day.
