The weight of the "Bang!" reactor core assembly.

Most of the fractured Alumina inside the 1" tube was contained. Everything outside the SiC element was ejected. Here is a look at the kind of fracture that occurred with pieces in place.

The Swagelok fitting - still containing the alumina

More debris - interesting point here is the melted SiC element section that was near the post explosion "bloom"

Close-up of some of the debris from the reactor core breach.

- the sintered fuel showing very small spheres on the surface of something

- parts of the fractured alumina core, with what appears to be a smooth aluminium (/Lithium?) deposit which diffuses a little through the Almumina

- fragments of the Silicon Carbide heating element
