OSTI ID:5491226
A molten core/material interaction experiment was performed at the Large-Scale Melt Facility (LMF) at Sandia National Laboratories. The experiment involved the release of 230 kg of core melt at 2923 K (2650/sup 0/C), into a magnesia brick crucible. The facility, the melting technology, and results of the experiment, are described. Preliminary evaluations of the results indicate that magnesia brick can be a suitable material for core ladle construction. A brief description of IRIS, a new method for producing large quantities of melt using internal susceptors buried in a matrix of the melt charge is also presented.
