Part 1 of 2 Parts
When a nuclear reactor melts down, a substance is formed called corium which is composed of nuclear fuel, fission products, control rods, structural materials and other components forms. The corium proceeds to melt through the reactor vessel and continues melting through the soil and rock below the reactor building.
