Terry Turbopump Expanded Operating Band Full-Scale Integral Long-Term Low-Pressure Experiments ? Preliminary Test Plan

Osborn, Douglas M.; Solom, Matthew A.

This document details the milestone approach to define the true operating limitations (margins) of the Terry turbopump systems used in the nuclear industry for Milestone 5 (full-scale integral long-term low-pressure operations) efforts. The overall multinational-sponsored program creates the technical basis to: (1) reduce and defer additional utility costs, (2) simplify plant operations, and (3) provide a better understanding of the true margin which could reduce overall risk of operations.
