Hi

It is a metaphor that refers to a nuclear reaction becoming dangerous. The expression probably goes back to the early 1950s when the US first started to test, in earnest, nuclear reactions for various purposes. In early experiments a meltdown occurred and could cause risk to people, land or property. In various nations now, it still happens

As a metaphor, rather as Alphecca
