One of the tasks in the EPRI, NRC, and G.E. sponsored boiling water reactor (BWR) Refill-Reflood program is to utilize an atmospheric pressure, single bundle test facility to perform a series of system and separate effects experiments. This document describes the test facility and the various system configurations which will be used, the planned test matrices, and the measurement and data utilization plans. The main purpose of the system effect experiments is to qualify the adiabatic steam injection technique which will be used to simulate heated bundles in the large scale 30/sup 0/ sector test facility. This will be accomplished by performing a set of reference experiments utilizing both the heated and adiabatic bundles, and subsequently comparing some predefined test parameters which characterize the system response.
