The results from the BETA molten core/concrete interaction (MCCI) experiments conducted at Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KrK) and the associated analysis using computer models developed by KfK and by Sandia National Laboratories, e.d., WECHSL and CORCON, are described. Two important observations were made in the BETA steady-state tests: a distinctly larger downward erosion rate than previously measured in transient tests or predicted; dispersion and mixing of the metallic layer in the oxidic layer at high-melt input powers and associated gas velocities.
