Geologic and hydrologic research at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, West Valley, New York: final report

"This report is the last in a series by the New York State Geological Survey on studies funded by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The report covers five important aspects of the geology and hydrology of the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, near West Valley, New York: geomorphology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, surface water, and radionuclide analyses. We reviewed past research on these subjects and present new data obtained in the final phase of NYSGS research at the site. Also presented are up-to-date summaries of the present knowledge of geomorphology and stratigraphy."

Experiment Data Report for Test RIA 1-2 (open access)

Experiment Data Report for Test RIA 1-2

"Recorded test data are presented for the second of six planned tests in the Reactivity Initiated Accident (RIA) Test Series 1, Test RIA 1-2. This Test, conducted at the Power Burst Facility, had the following objectives: (1) Characterize the response of preirradiated fuel rods during an RIA event conducted at boiling water reactor hot-startup conditions. (2) Evaluate the effect of rod internal pressure on preirradiated fuel rod response during an RIA event."

[MRBT Bundle B-6 Transient Test and Posttest Deformation Data]

Computer-generated graphical and tabular presentations of transient test and posttest deformation data for Multirod Burst Test (MRBT) Bundle B-6 (see pages 131-141 of report). "The primary objective of this 8 x 8 multirod burst test was to investigate cladding de-formation in the alpha-plus-beta-Zircaloy temperature range under simulated light-water-reactor (LWR) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions. B-6 test conditions simulated the adiabatic heatup (reheat) phase of an LOCA and produced very uniform temperature distributions." - from Abstract
