What could burn on a metal sub for 6 hours?(no petrol, its nuclear, right?)

I am curious, I am not trying to start some lame conspiracy crap.

The insulation was a foot thick in sonar on a boomer 41 years ago. I use to stare at it six on and twelve hours off, plus everything is wrapped with something if it's a pipe.

Now they are thinking about scrapping her, just thinking so far.

I hope they can cut off the burned part and replace with a 688 going out of service. Soon there will be no more 688's at least use her for training.
