Thank God you were wearing safety shorts.

+Mikael Johansson Remember kids, if you want a save experiment: Pour some hot chemical into water, which you fully expect ot explode, inside a glass contain (but not safety glass, because that would be stupid), and protect yourself from potential shrapnel and hot sprewing liquids with gloves and a facemask. Your forearms? Those aren´t designated hitboxes and therefore don´t need to be protected seperately, you can leave them free. Because that´s how it works in real life.

This is a physical process called Molten Fuel Coolant Interaction (MFCI or FCI). It is the same process that occurs with magma and water during explosive phreatomagmatic eruptions. Your example is correct, a vapour film is formed around the fuel and this expands so fast like a wave and generates the explosion.
Thanks for the video! I will use it for my volcanology lectures!
Well explained.

To folks thinking this was a steam explosion: Notice how the other salts simply formed a steam bubble around itself through the Leidenfrost effect. Furthermore, putting a red hot nickel ball into water leads to the same outcome (steam blanket around the glowing red hot metal ball), with no explosion. The video also clearly shows a detonation instead of a steam explosion, where superheated water vaporizes (throughout the liquid) when the pressure drops (through failure of its containment vessel)
To achieve these kind of detonations as observed in the video, you need the heated liquid stream to rapidly split itself apart into tiny fragments that can heat the surrounding water at a rate fast enough (the expansion of the liquid from this heating needs to be faster than the speed of shock wave propagation in the medium). This means that the liquid droplet needs to somehow obtain some amount of energy that can overcome its own surface tension and disperse itself into tiny droplets which further increases the interface area (a self-propagating, exponential process). The main way this is done is through charge. Supposedly, the Cl- ions can react with the supercritical H2O at the superheated water-salt interface to form HCl and Na+, OH-. The superior mobility of protons in water rapidly neutralizes the OH- at this interface, leading to the fast accumulation of Na+ in the molten salt itself. This charge buildup can eventually overcome the surface tension of the salt, leading to the droplet ripping itself apart. The act of the droplet ripping itself apart will further increase the salt-water interface. Eventually the salt-water mixture turns into steam and we see the detonation in this video. I might be wrong with some of the details but I think some form of charge accumulation in the salt overcoming surface tension should be the main cause.
like atom splitting nuclear bomb but in water. COOL

I worked in a foundry and the same would result when moisture is introduced in the furnace of molten metal. There is an instant vaporization of the moisture that causes a rapid expansion.
When I read "molten salt," I was both amazed and nervous. I thought you had somehow created NaK; which is the coolant in molten salt reactors. My grandfather used to tell stories from working at ORNL about it eating through 12 feet of concrete and exploding upon contact with water.
NaK is really not that hard to make. Storing/handling it is an absolute nightmare due to its crazy reactivity but sodium and potassium will combine very readily so long as they're not oxidized. You can see a pretty good example of it here. ruclips.net/video/s1Xo3GbT-DA/видео.html

As a chemist I can shed some light on the reaction. First, you are correct that this reaction isn't chemical in nature. The key differences between the substances are their solubility in water, and also their thermal conductivity. The NA-CL (Sodium Chloride) is highly soluble in water, dissolving NA-CL in water is also quite endothermic and comes with a higher osmotic pressure. This means that the NA-CL distributes through the water faster than the other substances. Once the NA-CL is distributed in the water it causes the water to boil and expand. If you watch the video again you can see the other substances in a clump with the boiling water vapor in a shell around them. They boil the water before they spread through the water. Thermal conductivity is loosely defined as the rate at which a substance can heat its surroundings. If you were to increase the thermal conductivity of the NA-CL it would also boil the water before it could spread.
+Carl Myhre Nice job for explaining it right!
+Carl Myhre I think I can understand some of the words.
+Carl Myhre mmmmmmhh yes yes, i know some of these words
+Carl Myhre You forgot that the Liedenfrost effect is reduced due to the very high solubility. The liquid form of NaCL is more readily soluble since the atoms are not trapped in a crystalline cage. Also, the solubility increases with the temperature.
so his putty analogy was correct! sweet! the pure sodium was a chemical reaction tho right?

It’s fun coming back to this video
You're right when assuming a physical reaction. Molten Sodium-Chloride got's the right mixture of heat capacity, less surface tension and not too much heat conductivity to instantly form a cover of steam around it when divided by the first steam explosion. Instead there where formed a lot of small salt drops who where divided again instead of instantly form the protecting steam bubble around.
=ITS ABOUT DENSITY AND VISCOSITY.....MOLTEN SALT DENSER THAN WATER BUT LESSER VISCOSITY
=MOLTEN SALT SINKS IN WATER,BUT DUE TO LESSER VISCOSITY IT'S DROPLETS IMMEDIATELY DISPERSE INTO LITTLEST POSSIBLE ONES,WHICH TRANSFER THEIR HEAT TO WATER ALL AT ONCE WHICH DOES A BOOM
.......MOLTEN COPPER INTO WATER DOES THE SAME BOOM.........ALSO WATER IN BOILING OIL......JUST THE SAME PRINCIPLE.....AND PROOF IS ABOUT NOTHING HAPPENS IF WATER ON MOLTEN SALT OR COPPER.....
...........SO LESS VISCOUS LIQUID MUST BE DENSER TO GO BOOM.............AND IF IT HAS LESSER DENSITY SO IT'LL JUST FLOAT ON SURFACE........LIKE IF WATER TO POUR ON MOLTEN SALT,THERE'LL BE NO EXPLOSION.....................AND WATER ON MOLTEN COPPER DOES NOT EXPLODE...............JUST BOIL AWAY FROM SURFACE,BECAUSE OF IT CANNOT GET UNDERNEATH DUE TO LESSER DENSITY......................
.............AND BOILING OIL DOES NOTHING WHEN POURED IN WATER,BY THE SAME CAUSE...........MAYBE SOME BUBBLES WILL BE,BUT NOT VERY MUCH,BECAUSE OF WATER WILL ABSORB HEAT AND IT'S UNDERNEATH OIL SO AREA OF CONTACT WILL BE JUST MINIMAL AS POSSIBLE................
.................AND IF DENSER LIQUID WILL HAVE GREATER VISCOSITY,SO IT'LL KEEP TO MAINTAIN IT'S SHAPE AND WONT EXPLODE........................LIKE MOLTEN SUGAR,MOLTEN IRON,MOLTEN ALUMINUM,LAVA WHICH IS MOLTEN ROCKS.........................

+Alan Blair I've actually got both! I wasn't expecting an explosion!

+TheBackyardScientist could it be because the salt is molecularly polar and so is more attractive to the water that the other salts. I mean that's why it dissolves in the first place.

I think the viscosity of the salt might be so low that the molten salt is almost frictionless as it goes into the water and I suppose it falls fast enought to make contact faster than the laden frost effect takes hold.

I like this guy. Wow!
1-When you drop molten sodium chloride into water unlike sodium (which is lighter than water) it sinks in (it is heavier than water).
2- The super hot ball of molten salt flash vaporizes the water. A thin vapor film separates the water and hot surface and temporarily the situation is stable.
3- The molten salt is not like liquid tin and does not have great surface tension so it makes a ball full of cracks and water gets inside some of the cracks.
4- The liquid water inside the crack flashes into the vapor and its volume suddenly expands by 1800 times. The local area around the crack inflates violently.
5- Since the rapid expansion of the outer molten salt surrounding the inflated crack is inside water and expanding faster than speed of sound in the water, it makes a supersonic shock wave. The shock wave in the water is the explosion or Big Bang.
Thanks for a great question. I really had fun watching the video and other pictures of this experiment again and again. And you high school kids out there, DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT SUPERVISION. It looks really dangerous

One day I witnessed from +20 yards a co-worker grab from the wrong rack - the drip-dry rack of wet blades and when he dropped them in the pot pretty much all the melted salt instantly exploded out of the pot ...everywhere...he was lucky that he had protective gear on but there were serious burns on all exposed skin, upper arms and neck...I suspect he still has scars from it today
