Macroscopic segregation of molten core and melt components occurs with slow cooling rate in the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. In this study, solidification and microscopic segregation are simulated with the Scheil model and thermal properties calculated by Thermo-calc in order to investigate an influence of cooling conditions on macroscopic segregation. A macroscopic segregation behaviour has been calculated for UO $_{2}$ -ZrO $_{2}$ -FeO system, which are major oxides of molten core materials. According to calculated results, UO $_{2}$ and ZrO $_{2}$ was concentrated in initial solidification area. On the other hand, FeO were strongly concentrated in later solidification area. In addition, macroscopic segregation tends to be suppressed in the conditions of fast solidification rate and slow velocity of solidification interface.
