Pugh, C E

The Pressure Vessel Technology Section at ORNL has an initiative under way in concert with the NRC to establish a Pressure Vessel Research Users' Facility (PVRUF) before the end of FY 1989. The facility is to be centered around a complete full-scale pressurized-water reactor (PWR) pressure vessel and will provide unique research and development (RandD) opportunities for a number of research organizations. It is anticipated that the NRC will use this facility to supplement its vessel integrity research program by conducting studies in several technical areas. 5 figs.
