Abstract
Abstract The properties and behaviour of corium are important factors in the progression and ultimate consequences of a severe nuclear reactor accident. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is developing a cold crucible facility to create and study small quantities of CANDU corium and, potentially, other molten materials. This paper describes the facility and presents preliminary results with non-radioactive charges and with radioactive, near-prototypical charges.
