The present invention provides a porous cooling block for cooling corium, comprising: a base part that includes a plurality of pores; a plurality of porous cooling blocks that include a channel part that communicates with some of the plurality of pores of the base part; a sacrificial part that covers the exposed upper surfaces of the porous cooling blocks; and a cooling-water supply unit that supplies cooling water to the porous cooling blocks. Corium is cooled by using steam or cooling water discharged from the porous cooling blocks. Therefore, the corium can be cooled and solidified in the shape of a porous form. Further, the cooling water is uniformly supplied to one surface formed by the cooling block on the whole, thereby easily cooling the corium.
