In 2000FY, a 3 year program of eroded piping tests was initiated with the following objectives: 1) to ascertain the seismic safety margins for eroded piping designed under the current seismic design code, 2) to clarify the elasto-plastic response and ultimate strength of eroded nuclear piping. It was intended to carry out a series of tests on eroded piping components and eroded piping systems. This paper is a report on the program of eroded piping tests.
