Q.

Entergy has previously claimed that using the bounding Fen values recommended in

?

NUREG/CR-6909 would actually yield less conservative CUF values, because the ASME



Code design air curves for carbon steel and low-alloy steels contained in air [which is what 2

Entergy considered]... are more conservative than the newer air curves in NUREG/CR-0

6909.4 How would you respond to this assertion?
