Experimental investigation on reflooding of debris beds

•A downcomer can significantly improve the beds’ coolability.•The perforated downcomer was occupied by steam and thus without effect.•Comparable quenching times in DEBRIS and PRELUDE.•Good agreement of MEWA calculation with the experiment in case of open downcomer. In case of a severe accident, cont...
