    That’s not the plasma that melts anything but neutron bombardment.

    I’m aware (I read the article, including the part I quoted you), but regardless of the source of the melting, there is a melting issue of the containment vessel that needs to be engineered away.

      Yes, and you won’t get me to argue here. I’m too experienced a smart-Alec to contradict another smart-Alec :)

        Well I’ll take smart alec over being called pedantic any day.

        Having said that, sincerely wasn’t looking for the argument, just a matter of going back to my original point, that you corrected and educated me on.

        I knew there was some kind of melting issue, when I had made my original comment. I had just assumed it was the plasma, but it ended up not being that, as you noted.

        My follow-up link comment was just to say “Hey look there is a valid reason for melting to happen, I wasn’t imagining it”.

        All’s good on my end.
