Corium is a term that generally refers to the molten mixture of nuclear fuel, reactor coolant, and structural materials that can form during a severe nuclear reactor accident. It is primarily composed of uranium dioxide, zirconium oxide, and other metallic elements, along with impurities from the reactor structure and coolant. This mixture can create complex interactions and chemical reactions as it cools and solidifies. Proper management and containment of corium are critical in the event of a meltdown to prevent environmental contamination.

What is located in the corium?

whatever machinery is left in the nuclear core, will melt into a lava-like material known as corium. Corium is deeply nasty stuff, capable of burning right through the concrete containment vessel thanks to its prodigious heat and chemical force, and when all that supercharged nuclear matter gets together, it can actually restart the fission process, except at a totally uncontrollable rate.
