Criteria have been established to obtain a test stand that will provide maximum performance and endurance information for the  MSBE  salt pumps in a safe and economical manner.

    The pump test stand will be designed to  (1)  accommodate full-size salt pumps for the  MSBE  primary  or  secondary systems,  (2)  provide a nonnuclear test environment, and  (3)  yield performance and endurance data assure maximum capability and reliability of the pumps in the  MSBE.
