In the frame of European research activities on nuclear safety, experimental work on exvessel core melt behaviour under prototypic conditions is being performed. Spreading on various material surfaces and verification of relevant computer codes are the main tasks leading to an improvement of the design basis for corium retention systems. Especially the large-scale spreading test (1:6 with respect to the EPR spreading area) showed the advantageous characteristics of cast iron (GGG-40) as core catching substratum material. 4 refs., 11 figs.
