GE Response:

The following tables show the test matrices for all of the single tube condensation tests conducted at UCB and MIT. Ti oles 6 through 10 show the test matrices for the current UCB and MIT tests and contain all the information  :

known at this time. Any further tests conducted will be reflected in the test  ;

report which will be issued upon completion of the tests.
