The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been conducting thermal-hydraulics research using the Rod Bundle Heat Transfer (RBHT) facility since 2001. An overview of the facility and test programs will be presented, as well as a summary of several important new findings obtained by this research. Also to be discussed is use of RBHT data in the regulatory process and in the development of the TRACE thermal-hydraulic code.
