APPENDIX A RESEARCH TO BE PERFORMED BY CONTRACTOR -
The scope of the work under this contract is unclassified and shall be in accordance with the work set forth in the Contractor's proposal entitled
" Damage and Intergrity Aspects of Safety in Nuclear Plant Subjected to Creep and Fatigue," which proposal is incorporated by reference and made a part The work shall be funded and performed on an annual basis over the hereof.
proposed six year life of the contract The Contractor shall continue to perform such work initiated in the prior period of this contract.
Such unexpended funds as may remain from that period may continue to be used in the completion of such work.
This contract involves the development, construction and utilization of a biavial test facility for creep and fatigue studies at elevated tempera-A con.patible test specimen with an uniform biaxial strain region tures.
