This is the third phase of a work scope which has been focused on providing a framework for and preserving key experimental programs and experiences which are critical to the licensing basis of currently operating nuclear reactors or which could be used in the safety basis for the next generation of reactors. The first phase of this effort, documented in Reference 1, focused on compiling a list of key experimental programs through an international survey of reactor safety professionals working in licensing, design, and academia. The second phase in this effort, documented in Reference 2, focused on creating a searchable database framework in which to organize the results from the international survey and to perform detailed research on several key programs to provide the framework for how to categorize the references which could be located. The purpose of the third phase is to perform a high-level research effort on each experiment/experience and to determine if sufficient data, reports, and results have already been captured to consider the program archived for future generators of nuclear professionals.
