Utah State University, in collaboration with Texas A&M University, University of South Carolina, and Idaho National Laboratory, proposes to conduct benchmark experiments to provide critical validation data for reactivity initiated accident (RIA) scenarios in LWRs. The proposed research includes separate effect experiments at the participating universities and integral experiment in the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) using commercial reactor fuels.
