This report documents the results of four plant tests performed during the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 1 startup test program. The report provides a source of first-of-a-kind BWR/6 data and an interpretation of the major data trends. The data may be applied in the qualification of reactor simulation computer codes. The transient data were recorded through the use of a General Electric Transient Analysis Recording System (GETARS). The detailed data trends are provided in Part I of the proprietary version of this report (2nd tier). Part II of the 2nd tier (proprietary) report entitled, ''Reactor Design Data for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 1,'' provides the reactor design data which can be used for the construction of a computer model to simulate the transients reported herein. The actual data are available from Electric Power Research Institute. 5 refs., 1 fig., 11 tabs.
