Qualification Testing Evaluation program light water reactor safety research. Quarterly report, October-December 1978
The objectives of the QTE program are to obtain data needed for confirmation of the suitability of current standards and regulatory guides for Class IE safety-related equipment and to obtain data that will provide an improved technical basis for modifications of these standards and guides where appropriate. Specific major objectives of the research are: (1) To provide assessments of post-LOCA qualification testing methodologies, including a qualitative assessment of the synergistic effects resulting from the combined environmental testing of representative Class 1E equipment; (2) To determine the radiation environment from the nuclear source term for a design basis LOCA and evaluate the adequacy of radiation simulators; and (3) To provide methods that can be used to simulate the natural aging process of representative Class 1E materials by accelerated aging methods.
