Urgent talks are going on to prevent the market going into financial meltdown during the summer. Occurrence in which a huge amount of thermal energy and radiation is released as a result of an uncontrolled chain reaction in a nuclear power reactor. The chain reaction that occurs in the reactor's core must be carefully regulated by control rods, which absorb neutrons, and a moderator, which reduces their energy. If the core becomes too hot, it can melt, releasing large amounts of radiation. See also Chernobyl accident; 1. Severe overheating of a nuclear reactor core, resulting in melting of the core and escape of radiation.2.
