I wrote it that way to aid the reader in understanding what the plug material was composed of. I didn't want the reader to think that the material was water ice.

Yes, the material is the frozen state of the once liquid reactor fluid.

I hope that clears it up, and would welcome a better way of explaining it!

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I wasn't trying to nit-pick your phrasing, I was just curious if I was misunderstanding something as a lay person. :)
