All I remember is that the core was unstable.
(I guess it was like a nuclear reactor.)
I don't know if it was ever
clarified beyond that.

Multiple Choice Question:

A) In a few months, John Byrne will probably cover this in the
first six biweekly issues of Superman.  So if you can wait until
then, why confuse the issue?

B) It was a plot by the Anti-Monitor, as will be revealed in
Crisis on Infinite Earths II. :-)

C) Urrr... if you do get an authoritative response, how about
letting the rest of us know.  I have vague memories both of
Krypton's core exploding, and of some villain blowing it up.
But I wasn't there at the time... :-)
