Hard Core

Disturbed, folks. Yesterday, we read an article in the Times about the ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan. In what we assume was an effort to provide greater clarity on the situation, the article featured a diagram of the reactor. It. . .It was, um. . . well, that is. . . .Uh, well. here


You see it, too, right? Of course, this does give us a somewhat clearer idea of what goes on during a meltdown. The reactor gets hotter. . . and hotter. . .and hotter. . . until it just EXPLODES and spews things willy-nilly all over the place.

Who knew nuclear physics could be so. . . steamy?
