I remember reading an article on extremophiles in reactor cores but cannot find it now.

Stellar Extremophiles

Scientists coined the term extremophile, which means "extreme-loving", to describe the creatures--and the hunt was on for more.  Soon, extremophiles were found living in deep Antarctic ice, the cores of nuclear reactors, and other unexpected places.  Biology hasn't been the same since.
