The boiling crisis in nuclear reactor safety and performance

Abstract A state-of-the art review of Boiling Crisis is presented with particular reference to applications in Nuclear Reactor Safety and Performance. Fundamental understanding and associated needs are emphasized rather than parametric effects and quantitative aspects of empirical methods. Directions for future progress are suggested.
