Archiving experiment data (KOETAR)

In the KOETAR project data and documents of the thermal-hydraulic experiments performed with different test facilities at Lappeenranta University of Technology were saved, checked, and archived. Some of the data and documents related to former research programs are on media that are not compatible anymore with the hardware and software in use today. The work was done following the priority classification of the experiments updated in the SAFIR research program in 2003. The checked data and documents were archived in the STRESA database of Lappeenranta University of Technology and in CD and DVD disks. The archived data and documents can be used in nuclear safety research to validate thermal hydraulic and computational fluid dynamics codes. The data is also suitable material for planning and understanding the future experiments and for educational purposes. It can also be used as a Finnish contribution in international co-operation projects. The data and documents in the STRESA database can be accessed easily through the Internet.
