Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper studies structure, phase composition, and thermophysical properties (TPP) (specific heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and heat conductivity) of a prototype corium of a fast nuclear reactor (melt of core materials of nuclear reactor produced under out-of-pile conditions). The obtained data will be used to get more accurate understanding of main regularities of actual interaction of core materials of a nuclear reactor under a severe accident.
