The Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) is a major US Department of Energy magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) test facility in Butte, Montana. The CDIF is operated by MSE Inc. Within the nation MHD program, MSE personnel are responsible for performing integration testing of vendor-supplied MHD power train components at the CDIF to support the goal of commercialization. During the second quarter of FY 88, testing continued with checkout of modifications to the second-stage oxygen injection and iron oxide/oil slurry injection. A new CDIF record for peak power was set during 88-DIAG-11, when 1.65 MWe was achieved. 3 figs.
