The performance of this device was such that the reactor was destroyed, melting the internal steel cylinder and the surrounding ceramic layers."
This info tells me that the inner secure reaction chamber and the surrounding ceramic core melted, but not the outer air cooled surrounding shell. *The reactor was not exposed to the air through a breach in the outer shell. * On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 5:21 PM, David L Babcock <[email protected]>wrote: > I have no idea what it would take to "ignite" stainless steel, but this > may be what happened.
