In the movie *Shin Godzilla*, the humans came up with a blood coagulant and a plan to inject it into Godzilla in order to freeze him. It’s mentioned in the film that doing so would force him to perform a nuclear SCRAM since he’s fueled by an internal nuclear reactor. The coagulant works, shutting down his circulation (which is his cooling system), and causes him to freeze.
But what IS a nuclear SCRAM? i’ve looked it up before, but I just can’t seem to make heads or tails of it.
In: Physics
A reactor scram (sometimes placed in all caps but not an acronym) is a term for an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor to prevent a catastrophic emergency, for more detailed information checkout r/NuclearPower or perhaps r/NavyNukes.
