ABSTRACT:
A nuclear reactor installation includes a core catching apparatus for containing the components of a nuclear reactor core during a core melt-down accident which comprises a container provided with means for preventing the mixing of the metallic portion of the core melt with water thereby to avoid formation of explosive gases and spreading of radioactive compounds by an explosion following such core-melt-down-accident.
