More than 30 years ago a specialist meeting was held at Joint Research Center Ispra (Italy)
from 15 to 17 January 1990 to review the current understanding of chemistry during severe …

Due to its moderate mechanical properties, low neutron absorption, excellent processability,
superior irradiation, and corrosion resistance, as well as good compatibility with nuclear fuel …

In a light water reactor, nuclear fuel element melting is critical. This paper will introduce the
experimental studies on the melting and relocation behaviors of the single fuel rod and 3× 3 …

Fundamental understanding of the high-temperature interaction between stainless steel
(SUS) and B 4 C is indispensable for estimating and characterizing the fuel debris …

The normal spectral emissivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of type 316
austenitic stainless steel (SS) containing B 4 C in the liquid state were experimentally …

Researches on the fission product chemistry made after the severe accident of the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station were reviewed with focus on the Cs chemistry in …

The transition from solid-state bonding of the stainless steel 304L (SS) with Zircaloy-4 (Zy-4)
to a partial liquid phase bonding is very important for the bonding process at 950–1050° C …

Evaluating severe accidents in Generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) is
challenging due to the eutectic reaction between boron carbide (B 4 C) and stainless steel …

It is important to ascertain the mechanisms underlying the eutectic reaction between different
reactor materials that might be encountered during a Core Disruptive Accident (CDA) of …

The eutectic melting, one of the fundamental phenomena in high temperature reactions
involving liquid phases, is a primitive but important subject for both scientific and industrial …
