PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF VIBRATION GENERATOR TESTS ON NS SAVANNAH AT DOCKSIDE

Vibration-generator tests were made on N.S. Savannah at dockside in shallow water with none of the ship's equipment operating. Amplitudes of vibration measured on the hull and on selected items of equipment are reported. Areas where vibrations were excessive are listed. Recommendations are made for improving the vibratory response of items associated with the nuclear power plant.
