This study pioneers the use of radiative heating for high-resolution visualisation and quantification of the eutectic melt composition, providing a novel approach to observing the melting and candling phenomena. Key findings include two distinct failure processes: SS cladding detachment forming molten droplets and fragmentation of B pellets, with sintering observed in B powder.
