Crust formation and mixing in a gassy two-liquid pool
Description:
Molten fuel pools with an overlying layer of steel can be expected to form in various stages of the post-accident heat removal sequence, either on in-vessel or ex-vessel core catchers, or on a concrete or refractory floor beneath the reactor vessel. Since the boiling point of steel is approximately the same as the freezing point of UO/sub 2/, one can expect that a crust of frozen UO/sub 2/ may form at the interface. However, there may be significant bubbling through the interface, either by boi…
