"35 Radioisotope Heater Units (RHUs) on the Experiment and Top Platforms continuously providing about one Watt each even when the Probe is dormant. "
Direct from the source, they were RHU's and that makes the hypothesis more believable since the RHU's reach criticality much easier, likely it took more than 1000 feet though sinking into into the methane/ice permafrost of Titan.
?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 990606I believe Huygens actually may have had LWRHU's, not the larger RTG/RHU's because the wattage matches that, so it would have had to go 10's of miles into Titan (maybe even 100) to get these to go super.
