The results of an experimental investigation of the penetration and interaction of a melt of iron oxides, which are one of the components with significant mass and corrosive power, with zirconium dioxide ceramic with about 20% porosity are reported. It is concluded on the basis of the data obtained that such a ceramic has functional possibilities for use in the external trap of a nuclear power plant. 2 figures, 8 references.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
