ABS>Test procedures for special tests involving in-core SM-l temperature and flow instrumentation are described (Task XIV Package Tests). These tests involve in-core steady state flow and temperature measurements, loss of flow transients, load transients, reduced primary system pressure operation and reduced element flow. The thermal and hydraulic conditions prevailing in these tests, including steady state and transient burnout ratios, were developed. The effects of reduced system pressure and flow on the burnout ratios were determined as were the expected stuck rod conditions when Task XIV test elements are installed. The effect on the maximum credible accident is included and a recommendation to conduct these Task XIV package tests is made. (auth)
