Abstract This report provides a summary of the nuclear reactor safety research project "Severe Accident Management" conducted at the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) in 1994-96. The project was divided into five work packages: thermal hydraulic validation of the Advanced Process Simulation Environment (APROS) code; core melt progression within a boiling water reactor (BWR) pressure vessel; failure mode of the BWR pressure vessel; aerosol behaviour experiments; development of a computerized severe accident training tool.
