OSTI ID:5276386
Full scale tests were performed on seven pressurized water reactor safety valves representative of PWR plant pressurizer safety valve designs. The tests were performed at the request of PWR utilities in response to the USNRC recommendations of NUREGS 0578, 2.1.2 and 0737, Item II.D.1.A. Fluid conditions tested included steam, steam-to-water transition, saturated water and sub-cooled water. Results are presented on each of the seven test valves for the full range of test conditions.
