American
slang
for a
nuclear fission
meltdown
accident in which the
molten
nuclear core
heats and melts the ground beneath it, thus sinking into the
earth
, and heading towards
China
(which is roughly on the opposite side of the globe (actually I always thought that
Australia
was on the other side of the
globe
, whatever)).
Also a movie released in 1979 starring
Jane Fonda
and
Michael Douglas
. The movie has a very anti-nuclear energy slant to it. Coincidentally, just days after this movie's release in theaters the near-meltdown at
Three Mile Island
occured.
In one episode of
The Simpsons
I believe
Homer
claimed to have caused a China Syndrome.
