An account of the OECD LOFT (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Loss of Fluid Test) Project
This report sets on record a Nuclear Energy Agency-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (NEA-OECD) initiative, following a proposal by the US authorities to set up and manage a major international project which would extend both the lifetime and scope of the US Department of Energy (USDOE) Loss of Fluid Test (LOFT) integral test facility at the Idaho National Laboratory (INEL) in Idaho, USA. The test program of 8 experiments, which extended from 1983 to 1989 followed a US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) program of 36 experiments over the period 1976 to 1982. The information from the OECD program has been made fully available to the international community both in the form of detailed technical reports and as a computer database containing all the quantitative experimental information, held both at the NEA Paris and at the INEL in Idaho. This account of the OECD LOFT Project briefly summarizes this mass of technical information. 2 figs.
