Dear Paul:
Paul Boehnert sent ne a set of documents justifyinn the PBF In-Unfortunateli, they arrived 21 January 1981 and I was away the following week, so I 'taven't had a lot of time to examine pile Test Program.
I hope the coments below are not too late to be useful.

tiy overall reaction was that in tryinn to run in-pile simulation experiments of THI-2 type accidents, we should know more about happened to Ti1I-2.in-reactor simulations, we may not have focussed on the worst This could arise,-for example, from even the typical situation.

A second general comment I would make is that such experiments, How can you whec performed, should try to address mitiqation more.estimite th as rat to increase the damage, increase the fission product release, and make eventual decontamination easier?
