fuckyeahspookyshit:The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly. End of story.The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across. It is only losing about 22 pounds of uranium per year. It resists its environment and if the shelter is improved, that loss is expected to drop. Corium is only formed during a reactor meltdown as a product of the solid fuel fissioning uncontrollably. This super-hot fuel turns into a liquid and melts its way through steel, concrete, and whatever else that might be in contact with it.This picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. Submitted by babydali. -- source link
