The figure for heat delivered to the reactor seems very low.
".... The same source suggests that the fission yield was 5·1018 fissions which would deliver 156 MJ of heat into the reactor..." .

The latent heat of vaporization of water is above 2.2 MJ per kg. That would suggest that even at the most favorable conditions for creation of steam (all water was at the boiling point, all heat went only into water not yet steam, pressure increase does not negatively affect steam production, etc) that less than 71 liters of water would be converted to steam. .

Not sure that would be enough to cause that much damage. Remember this isn't even a well confined space...the reactor vessel head was not even in place. . 98.183.55.219 (talk) 06:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)BGriffin
