This report will address thermal-mechanical conditions in the reactor during recovery from small breaks with extended loss of feedwater, and will consist of analyses for generic plant groupings.

Following completion of the above, additional plant specific analyses, if required, will be provided.

Schedules for plant specific anal-yses will be determined based on the results of the generic analysis.

Report will be submitted by Westinghouse Owners Group in accordance with implementa-tation schedule.

This report will address potential for void formation in the RCS during natural circulation cooldown conditions, as described in Westinghouse letter, NS-TMA-2298 (T.M. Anderson to P. Check)

The transient analysis code (LOFTRAN) and the present small break analysis code (WFLASH) have both undergone benchmarking against plant information or experimental test facil-ities.

The codes have also been compared with each other under appropriate conditions.

Westinghouse Owners Group will submit a report addressing the benchmarking of these codes on a schedule consistent with the requirements of Task II.K.2.19.
