The Government intends to conduct a 1/3 scale test of a 30-foot diameter reinforced plastic (FRP) cold water pipe (CWP) for use with a 10/40 MWE pilot plant during summer and fall 1980. The test program has two primary objectives: to validate the NOAA/DOE CWP computer code by means of a critical comparison between measured data and analytical design calculations; to demonstrate the fabrication, deployment, and operational characteristics of a larger scale FRP CWP model. This document describes the development of a preliminary 1/3 scale CWP test article design which meets the above objectives.
