How dangerous is corium?
At the 10-year point, radiation from the corium was down to 1/10th its initial value, but the mass remained physically hot enough and emitted enough radiation that 500 seconds of exposure would produce radiation sickness and about an hour was lethal.
Why is corium dangerous?
So, why is corium so dangerous? Well, even long after the flow has stopped, that lava will be highly radioactive for decades to centuries (along with the surrounding countryside if radioactive material made it out of the containment vessel) as the various radioactive materials in the lava decay.
How do I get rid of corium?
The standard technique for dealing with corium is to try and cool it with water. However, this approach typically works too slowly, allowing the disaster to continue evolving and letting radioactive contaminants escape into the surrounding area.
What would happen if you touched the elephant’s foot?
If you actually touched it your hand would blister and die over the next few days. Depending on how much time was spent and how close the radiation could cause seizures coma and death quite rapidly. Lesser doses could cause. Omitting collapse and deaths over a few days.

What kind of surface material is corian made of?
Corian is a brand of solid surface material created by DuPont.
How does the temperature of corium affect the environment?
Hypothetically, the temperature of corium depends on its internal heat generation dynamics: the quantities and types of isotopes producing decay heat, dilution by other molten materials, heat losses modified by the corium physical configuration, and heat losses to the environment.
What’s the name of the company that makes Corian?
In 2017, Corian marked its fiftieth year with a new look and marketing campaign. Its renewed visual identity and logo was designed and developed by Italian branding agency GBR Design. DuPont has issued various sub-branded releases of the material which contain unique design elements or methods of manufacture.
