Please provide a detailed description of the PCT calculation improvement and identify those differences from the results obtained from NEDE-23785-PA, "The GESTR-LOCA and SAFER Models for Evaluation of Loss-of-Coolant Accident (Volume III),
SAFER/GESTR Application Methodology, 1984. Also, identify the latest approved document in this regard and justify its applicability to GE14 fuel only.
