Can Uranium still go fision while molten

    Can uranium or other radioactive elements still go fission while it is molten (in real life). For example in case of a reactor meltdown can Corium heat itself? I just wonder.

    In real life, any fissile elements undergo fission in any state, even in gaseous. Take radon, for example.

    Yes, in IRL they do. The atoms are still the same, that's what matters for fissionability, not the state of matter.

     Please don't give Russia ideas, I don't want nuke gas in this world.

    Did you know? I am Russian. And gaseous uranium is actually pretty useful.
