The effect of corium composition and interaction vessel geometry on the prototypic steam explosion
TL;DR: In this article, the results of steam explosion experiments using molten material consisting of UO 2 and ZrO 2 mixture, which is called corium, to simulate a prototypic steam explosion in a nuclear reactor during a postulated severe accident were discussed.

Insight into steam explosions with corium melts in KROTOS
I. Huhtiniemi,D. Magallon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe two KROTOS tests in which ∼4 kg of corium melt was injected into a ∼1-m deep subcooled water pool and showed that the corium jet penetrated deep into the water while maintaining its shape.

Corium melt quenching tests at low pressure and subcooled water in FARO
D. Magallon,I. Huhtiniemi +1 more
TL;DR: The first two corium melt quenching tests in subcooled water performed in the FAT FCI vessel of the FARO facility are described in this article, which involved 39 and 92 kg of 80 wt% UO 2 + 20 wt % ZrO 2 melt, respectively.

Lessons learnt from FARO/TERMOS corium melt quenching experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of melt quantity and composition, water depth and initial pressure on quenching was assessed on the basis of seven tests performed under various conditions in the TERMOS vessel of the FARO facility at JRC-Ispra.

Phenomenological studies on melt-coolant interactions in the ALPHA program
TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments to investigate melt-coolant interactions have been performed as part of the ALPHA program at JAERI, where melt simulating a molten core was dropped into a pool of water and volume fractions of the melt, water and steam in the mixing region prior to the occurrence of spontaneous steam explosions were quantified.
