Special Power Excursion Reactor Test Program
ID: special-power-excursion-reactor-test-program
The Special Power Excursion Reactor Test Program (SPERT) was a series of experimental tests conducted in the 1960s at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in the United States. The primary goal of the SPERT program was to investigate the behavior of nuclear reactors under various operational conditions, particularly focusing on what happens during power excursions, which are rapid increases in reactor power output.
