Correct, Susan. I've heard estimates that the "void" was about 30% of the
core volume, and based on the in-core examination videos that I remember seeing
a LONG time ago, I'd say those estimates were pretty close.

The exhibit about it at INEEL is quite interesting. By the way, many anti-nuclear activists have been led to believe that there was no meltdown, I guess they want to assert that it couldn't possibly have been contained had it happened. -- .....................................................
