This document presents the experimental results obtained during the pre-Loss of Coolant Experiment (LOCE) manuever and the core conditions prior to the L2-2 LOCE. The peak linear heat rate prior to the blowdown was 8.04 kW/ft, the primary coolant mass flow rate was 1.539 Mlbm/hr, the hot leg temperature was 585.9/sup 0/F, and the core ..delta..T was 42/sup 0/F. These conditions satisfied the requirements specified for the L2-2 LOCE except for the hot leg temperature being 12/sup 0/F below the desired 598/sup 0/F.
