USA/FRG umbrella agreement for cooperation in gas-cooled reactor development: Subprogram plan for cooperation in AVR [Arbeitsgemeinschaft Versuchs Reaktor] Test Program
This subprogram plan describes cooperative work related to the AVR Test Program. This cooperative work is being carried out under the USA/FRG Implementing Agreement for Cooperation in Gas-Cooled Reactor Development. Earlier cooperation in this area was conducted under the Project Work Statement (PWS) for the ORNL/KFA/AVR Cooperative Effort in HTR Physics, Performance and Safety. The purpose of the cooperation is to obtain experimental information from the AVR relevant to the performance and safety of modular gas-cooled reactors, and to compare measured results with predictions of analytical tools. The scope of the cooperation involves examining the behavior of the AVR under various planned test conditions pertinent to modular gas-cooled reactor performance. AVR test data will be utilized to help validate computational methods used in the areas of reactor physics, fission and activation product transport and plant transient response, and to help understand modular gas-cooled reactor safety behavior (e.g., fission product behavior, dust behavior, and thermofluid dynamic behavior).
