The most important safety problem concerning the LMFBR is related to core component damage caused by molten fuel coolant interaction. This problem has been reviewed under the items of out-of-pile test, in-pile test and analytical models. The elements of the physical geometry relevant to the out-of-pile test are shocktube, tank, jet injection, mixing and fuel pin. The major difficulty is to melt the large amount required of fuel (10kg). The in-pile test facilities operative today are TREAT, ETR, CABRI and HFR. Almost all the analytical models are based on the Cho-Wright model.
