Further code validation of Technical Specification Bases

Personnel from the Applied Physics Group (APG) and from the Reactor Technology Section devised the K-14 reactor restart test program. The primary purpose of that program was to acquire data which could be used to further validate the computer codes which supported the Technical Specification Bases. The test program was highly successful and a large amount of useful data was obtained. DOE has now requested the schedule and plan for the additional code validation activities. A response to DOE was made in which an outline of WSRC`s (Westinghouse Savannah River Co.) planned activities was presented, but specifics were not discussed. This memorandum is intended to provide additional details on these activities. The WSRC plan consists of five major activities. The first activity is to catalog and document the measured data. The second activity is to investigate the radial and axial neutron flux distributions. The results from this task will complement the analyses being performed in the final three activities: steady state reactivity effects, transient reactivity effects, and planned an unplanned shutdowns. Work on these activities is scheduled to be completed by the end of the fiscal year 1993.
