Word origin

The word 'corium' originates from Latin, where it means 'skin' or 'hide'. In the context of nuclear reactors, it was first used in the 1960s to describe the inner layer of the sun's atmosphere. The usage expanded to refer to highly radioactive material in nuclear accidents in the late 20th century. Today, corium is a critical term in the field of nuclear energy and astrophysics.
