To put this in perspective, the melting point of uranium dioxide is 2865 °C that is 5,189 °F



Molten lavas temperature is just 700 °C to 1300 °C.


Or the photosphere of the sun is just around 5,500 Fahrenheit. So we are talking just 400 degrees cooler then the temperature of the suns photosphere!

Have to use my corrected statement.

*EDIT*

Or the photosphere of the sun is just around 5,500 Celcius. So we are talking just about half the temperature of the suns photosphere!

Fixed, thx for pointing out my error.

One thing we all seem to agree on is this is a very serious event and it does not seem to be going anywhere but downhill.

5000F is not insignificant. Boggles the mind. 'Half the temp of the sun.' Hell on Earth.
