>> tell me what i got wrong in the explanation. >> the one thing i guess i would differ on is probably it wouldn't go all the way to meltdown in the pool, but it doesn't matter because long before that the volatile radioactivity would have been driven off by the heat. you don't need to go to meltdown to release the radioactivity we are concerned for the environment. >> just the damage to the fuel rods that could happen just by them being exposed to the air is enough to release radioactivity, that is the worst case. >> the planning around the uranium pellets, the tubes, would burst. at that point the heat would drive off -- the boiling point of the elements we are worried about is much below the temperature of the fuel we have at that point would drive it off into the atmosphere. and the other thing is that in
