[cdn-nucl-l] Superman reference? " Nuclear Heart of the Earth " CNS-SP seminar [FW]

Can anyone find the (comic book) reference to this event?
Probably Morgan or Adam can.
(Our list seems to get rather wide exposure.)

Regarding the "nuclear Earth" scenario: Does anyone else on this list recall, as I do, the "Superman" comic books of the 1950s, according to which Superman came from a planet destroyed by the self-destruction of its fissionable core? (I'm pretty sure my memory of childhood hasn't failed me here.) Is "science" imitating "art" (if you can call it that) in this instance? Any comments welcome.
