SiC has been under investigation as a potential cladding for LWR fuel, due to its high melting point and drastically reduced chemical reactivity with liquid water, and steam at high temperatures. As SiC is a brittle material its behavior during the r

In severe accident mitigation approaches that aim to achieve In-Vessel Retention (IVR) the decay heat is removed from the corium by conduction through the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) wall, and by flow boiling on the outer surface of the RPV. The bo
