In order to monitor the tests, the test apparatus includes flow rate measurements, temperature measurements, and differential pressure measurement. High speed camera is adopted to perform the visual observation of the two-phase flow and the debris bed during the test and after the test. The photos of the test system are shown in Figs 5~7.
