On May 29, 1980, the fifth in a series of nuclear experiments was conducted. The experiment, designated L6-5, simulated events which would follow a loss-of-feedwater to all of the steam generators of a large commercial nuclear powered reactor system. Initial results from the experiment indicate that all significant events occurred as expected. Analysis of experimental results is continuing. In addition to conducting Test L6-5, preparations continued for the next small-break test, L3-7. Currently, efforts for that test are ahead of schedule and targeted for 6/19/80. This test is designed to investigate natural circulation modes and their stability. Of particular interest is two-phase cooling modes with water levels significantly reduced. Costs to date are in good agreement with current budgets and authorized funding levels. However, overall actual expenditures are overstated due to an accrual problem of $250,000, an electrical facility overcharge of approximately $125,000, and a cost transfer of $57,000 related to the two-phase flow loop task. Corrections for this overstatement have been filed.
