Which outcome is certain to occur when an over-pressurized reactor core loses coolant?

💡 Explanation

A steam explosion results because rapid boiling leads to a massive volumetric expansion, therefore fuel will melt rather than A happening due to the extreme heat, and uncontrolled phase transitions dominate neutronics.
