It was a total fiction masquerading as truth and the gullible public at the time believed it. The film by the same name had an overheating nuclear reactor theoretically capable of melting anything below it. The scientists (well paid and good actors- Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, Jack Lemmon) were under the belief from so-called experts (Hollywood Fiction) that it could bore a hole through the earth from the USA to China. It ignored the fact that the earth's center is composed of molten rock at very high temperatures, so anything which penetrated that far would just be absorbed into the molten mass. It would never penetrate that far since it would shut down very early in the process.
However the message of radiation being dangerous when not contained was accurate as Chernobyl proved seven years later. But the Three Mile Island reactor accident which (bad timing for the Nuclear Energy public image) happened the same year as the film, was contained and nobody was killed as a result. The Chernobyl accident happened seven years later which did cause 47 deaths within a 15 year period following and estimates up to 4000 cancer related deaths have been predicted (Wikipedia).
Because of the the amazing efficiency of nuclear energy the science of safety was mastered to allow this important resource to continue, yet at a great monetary expense. Ironically the safest nuclear energy technology which has come and gone is called a Molten Salt Reactor and the idea has been revived in recent years under the name Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR). Politics and commercial competitive forces have kept it from making a comeback.

Why is the nation China called China?
The first recorded use of the word "China" is dated 1555. It is derived from Cin, a name for China popularized by Marco Polo. This word was derived via Persian from Sanskrit CÄ«nÄand ultimately from Qin Kingdom (778BC-207BC), the Westernmost of the Chinese kingdoms during the Zhou Dynasty. China was historically referred to as Sina (hence "Sino-"), Sinae, Cathay, or Ceres by Western nations. The official name of China changed with each dynasty. The common name is ZhÅngguó , which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."

Is Han China the same as China?
What exactly do you mean by "Han China"? I asked a Chinese classmate and she said there isn't a term called "Han China" in Chinese.
Answer:
The Han Dynasty ruled China from 206 BCE-220 CE. It followed the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) and preceded the Three Kingdoms (220-265 CE). The Han Dynasty is considered a golden age in Chinese history. Even today China's majority ethnic group refers to itself as the "Han people"
So in answer:
- The Han Dynasty rued all of present day China about 2000 years ago.
- Present day China feels ties to the Han Dynasty
Should old china be washed annually to prevent dry rot?
"Dry rot" (usually fungal decay of cut and cured wood) does not affect ceramic materials, such as your china.
As a case in point, my parents own a centuries-old Chinese vase dating to the early Ming dynasty. Though it is not a significant million-dollar piece, it is a definitive example of "old china". It is kept in a case, and is never washed. One can assume that conditions have been similar through most of its existence.
