The progression of hypothetical core disruptive accidents in metal fuel cores is strongly affected by exclusion of the molten metal fuel and cladding from the core region due to molten fuel-coolant interaction (FCI). As a basic study of molten fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) in metal fuel fast reactors, we carried out a series of experiments on the fragmentation of a single molten stainless steel (SUS304) and copper droplets, which penetrates a sodium pool at a wide range of superheating temperatures, to observe the behavior of fragmentation.
