A theoretical model characterizing the explosive crystallization 
from a supercooled melt has been proposed and analyzed. Taking account 
of the specific features of the cluster-coagulation model of crystallization 
and the specific features of the experiment has made it possible to 
construct cooling curves adequate to the experimental ones.
