| Abstract: | This paper discusses the results of steam explosion experiments using reactor material carried out under “Test for Real cOrium Interaction with water (TROI)” program. About 4–9 kg of corium melt jet is delivered into a sub-cooled water pool at atmospheric pressure. Spontaneous steam explosions are observed in four tests among six tests. The dynamic pressure, dynamic load, and morphology of debris clearly indicate the cases with steam explosion. The initial conditions and results of the experiments are discussed. |
