Schardt, J F

Flow-Induced Vibration for Light Water Reactors (FIV or LWR) is a four-year program designed to improve the FIV performance of light water reactors through the development of design criteria, analytical models for predicting behavior of components, general scaling laws to improve the accuracy of reduced-scale tests, and the identification of high FIV risk areas. The program, which commenced December 1, 1976, is managed by the General Electric Nuclear Technology Department and has three major contributors: General Electric Nuclear Technology Department (NTD), General Electric Corporate Research and Development (CR and D) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). This progress report summarizes the accomplishments achieved during the period January-March 1978.
