Further development of the ORECA code was done based on analyses of Fort St. Vrain (FSV) reactor test data. Work also continued on upgrading the ORTAP, BLAST, and FLODIS codes. Preliminary reverse-flow plume experiments for investigating the FSV upper plenum cover plate heating phenomenon were continued. Further assistance was given to NRC on FSV questions relating to their 100% power license application and the oscillation problem.
