[en] Fuel coolant interaction (FCI) and molten core concrete interaction (MCCI) have been studied experimentally within the framework of COTELS project from 1995 as a joint study between NUPEC (Japan) and NNC (Republic of Kazakhstan) using one of the testing complex at NNC. The testing complex includes three experimental facilities ''SLAVA'', ''LAVA'' and ''LAVA-M'' for debris coolability tests. Three types of experiments were carried out. To get the molten corium, the electric induction melting furnace (EMF) was used. The EMF produced ∝60 kg of corium containing UO₂, stainless steel, Zr and ZrO₂. The temperature of the produced melt was about 3200 K. The melt was discharged into the water pool in test A or onto the concrete trap in test B/C. The corium in the concrete trap was heated in test B/C by another induction melt heater. Prior to main test A and test B/C, several supporting experiments were conducted. Integrity of graphite crucible with TaC sheet during producing UO₂ corium was confirmed experimentally. The induction melt heater was calibrated and the efficiency for the induction heater of ''LAVA-M'' facility was determined as 47%. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of concrete up to about 1073 K, and melting-solidification points of eutectics generated from corium components were determined experimentally. Discharge corium behavior, using UO₂ corium, was also observed by speed cameras in test 01. (orig.)
