The China syndrome and the strange way to exploit that phenomenon

One of the worst nuclear accidents, what can happen is that the reactor would be driven in the condition, what is known as the China syndrome is the case when the nuclear material inside the reactor is melting. Because the fissile material of the nuclear power plants is so heavy, the China syndrome would cause the global threat.  That melted Uranium would burn it's way to the Earth's core and in the center of our planet. And in the worst scenario that material could come out from the other side of the earth, because of the pendulum effect.


That effect is caused because the material, what would drop inside the tunnel, what goes thru the planet will start to travel from the side to side. And in theory, the nuclear material would act the same way as the mass in the tunnel. It would travel side by side until friction would stop it. That situation is thought to be the worst case scenario in the nuclear power. The melted radioactive material is very hot, and heavy, and that's why it would break thru the basalt and that would bring some "fantastic" ideas in the minds of physics.


Sometimes in the 1950's when the nuclear power was in the people's mind without any problems and people supported nuclear weapons, was the golden age for some very interesting applications of the highly radioactive nuclear material, what was used in fission. One of the craziest ideas was to send the probe inside the Earth by using the radioactive fissile material to open route to the magma. In this case in the hole would be dropped the sugar-shaped radioactive material, what would start to fissile, and that material works like the radioactive drill. That material would open the road for that probe.


The probe would be covered with iron, and it would be dropped behind that fissile liquid. The mission of this probe would send data from internal layers from the Earth. The other version of this "syndrome" is to produce the nuclear weapon, what internal layer would be melted. After that, the bomber would drop this weapon on the roof of the commanding or other bunkers. The melted nuclear material would burn itself thru the roof of the bunker, and it will not cause the explosive damages, but the extremely hot nuclear material would destroy the commanding bunker. That kind of weapon type is totally different than so-called traditional nuclear weapons. It could be effective against bunkers, and the radioactive material could have the lower enriching level.
