PFR/Treat Safety Experiments: HEDL Transient Test Program Engineering Test Plan

The purpose of the PFR/TREAT Safety Test Program is to obtain experimental data of fuel pin behavior during hypothetical, unprotected accidents for cores of large liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactors. The steady state and transient experiments, which will be performed under the joint program, are to be as prototypic of fast reactor performance as is possible. The specific objectives of this document are: (1) dictate the activities and responsibilities for the HEDL Transient Test Program; (2) specify the technical requirements for the CO4, CO5, CO6 and CO7 test train (SPTTs); and (3) specify the technical requirement for the CO6 and CO7 Single Pin Test Loops (SPTLs). Specific requirements for single pin loop experiments beyond CO7 and multi pin experiments will be covered in the addenda to this test plan.
