-Design of nuclear fuel and coolant system for nuclear reactors has undisputable bearing on the aspects present during Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). In-depth knowledge of rewetting phenomenon and its successful application on LOCA in nuclear reactors is the need of the hour due to severity of the consequences which follow after LOCA. The paper highlights various aspects namely (1) Application of rewetting in innovative technology (2) Severe reactor accident management (3) Arresting nuclear waste discharge (4) Quality assurance checks on Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) and (5) Prevention of nuclear fuel clad softening.
