Objective of the program was to obtain steady-state and transient two-phase empirical data to prove and improve the reactor coolant pump analytical model currently used for LOCA analysis. A one-fifth scale pump was tested in steady-state runs with single- and two-phase mixtures of water and steam over ranges of operating conditions representative of postulated loss-of-coolant accidents. Transient tests were also run to evaluate the applicability of the steady-state-based calculational models to transient conditions. This volume contains plots of the transient data and derived parameters obtained for each of the 16 blowdown experiments.
