"China Syndrome" so called situation whereby an active nuclear reaction is unable to be cooled, and the reactor then melts through the casing and reactor floor "all the way to China:"
For this to happen, there had to be a
functioning nuclear reactor inside the WTC, with all cooling and monitoring systems, said reactor being kept secret from every single person who had worked there for the last twenty years...the coolant loops, coolant systems, monitoring systems, fuelrod management systems and supplies..all of which were operated with the complete ignorance of the AEC..
no one ever saw a single technician come and go, no one was ever the wiser to the construction of this reactor.
Incidentally, a "China Syndrome"
does NOT make an atomic explosion, as the reaction at no time reaches critical mass.
NO reactor to date including Chernobyl has detonated as an atomic fission device would.
An atomic explosion, even as small as 1kt requires the subcritical masses to be slammed together..and if a nuke was set off in NY,
the blast radius alone would have turned NY into a wasteland.
