Integral Effects Testing
Complex high temperature/pressure autoclave testing where the effects of coolant additives on advanced next-generation nuclear fuel and cladding materials are investigated. Examples include:
- Simulating the effects of hydrogen peroxide on corrosion of fuel cladding
- Studying the effects of coolant on high density fuel in the event of cladding breach
- Interactions between deposits, coolant and cladding
- Modeling of debris behavior following loss of coolant accident
- Foreign material effects in reactor coolant systems

Industry Benchmarking Data
Development and evaluation of experimental data that combines processes and parameters in novel ways to answer industry-wide issues. Examples include:
- Results of crud formation studies in the WALT loop are used to benchmark BOA code to evaluate CIPS and CILC
- WALT Loop is used to study DNB and its effects on cladding and advanced cladding coatings
