Investigation of challenges related to vapour explosion modelling in sodium

•Understanding and modelling of key vapour explosion processes in sodium is discussed.•Capability of MC3D code to simulate vapour explosions in sodium is supported.•Pressurization in sodium seems to be intrinsically limited to moderate pressures.•Vapour explosions in sodium might be simulated as an...
