Oregon State University, in collaboration with two universities, three national laboratories, and two industry partners, proposes to develop a comprehensive evaluation of existing Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) Facility neutronics data using the next generation reactor core neutronics codes, perform a complete thermal hydraulic characterization of existing sodium loop experimental data, the collection of experimental thermal hydraulic data of a representative TREAT Facility water flow loop, and development of a comprehensive instrumentation plan for the TREAT Facility.
