1. Non Equilibrium Phase Change Studies 1.1 , Flashing Experiments (G. Zimmer, J.H. Klein, and N. Abuaf)

The data obtained during the flash:'.ng experiments, axial pressure distribu-tions and transverse chordal averaged void fraction profiles were all converted into engineering units. For each axi.nl location area-averaged void f ractions were also calculated from the detailed transverse distributions. A hard copy of all the data, including graphs, was forstarded to NRC.

The comparison of the measured data with the TRAC predictions was also ini-tiated.
