The existence of short-lived radionuclides (SLRNs) in the early solar system above their background galactic abundances is well accepted. Studies into the relative abundances and possible sources for radioisotopes indicate a model with three separate sources for the total abundance of SLRNs: the background galactic value, material from some nearby stellar source, and in-situ creation by the early active Sun. A type II SN may be the most likely source for the stellar component, specifically 60Fe. The geometric details of the stellar birth are largely unknown despite evidence that the presolar cloud was not isolated. From a hydrodynamic perspective, the injection of SLRNs may be difficult because of intervening material between the core and the explosion necessary to slow the shock speed enough that the core is compressed rather than shredded. For the SN component it is vital to understand how SN ejecta can reach a core and whether certain SN/cloud environments are precluded by the hydrodynamics. We present Zeus-2D simulations studying the possibility of SLRN injection into a presolar core that is part of a larger cloud complex.
