Description
In the fuel-coolant interactions, water and Na are the two most commonly used coolants. It is proved that the water can produce violent interactions with molten metal and results in steam explosion. With the development of the MFBR technique, the problem of reactor safety must be solved urgently. Water-FCI phenomenon and Na-FCI phenomenon are compared by analyzing experimental results and numerical simulation, thus providing a basis for the analysis of MFBR safety. (authors)
