Keywords:severe accident, debris, corium-concrete interaction, debris spreading, viscosity

In the severe accident, the fuel debris flows and diffuses according to the viscosity immediately after falling from the reactor vessel to the cavity floor. Its temperature varies depending on the decay heat and the radiation mainly. We examined how the mass of fuel debris relates to the debris flow and the change in temperature.
