Qualification Testing Evaluation Program: Light Water Reactor Safety Research (Quarterly Report, April – June 1978)
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The objectives of the Qualification Testing Evaluation (QTE) program are to obtain data needed for confirmation of the suitability of current standards and regulatory guides for Class 1E 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 as follows: 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; to determine the radiation environment from the nuclear source term for a design basis LOCA and evaluate the adequacy of radiation simulators; and to provide methods that can be used to simulate the natural aging process of representative Class 1E materials by accelerated aging methods.
