that was the core vaporizing, so there was lots more heavy stuff than iodine.

Strontium isn't particularly volatile, nor are the salts particularly soluble
in water, so while there is plenty there, it's still inside the recators, or
possibly in the water sitting in the basements. Iodine evaporates easily, and
is released with steam or outgases from the cooling water

I think it is 6 degrees at the cam, so 12 at the crank. Is that correct?
