Clarification on Use of Heat Slabs in Large Break LOCA Modeling for Yankee Rowe
Dear Sir:
During the review of the lower plenum phase separation model for Yankee Rowe, YAEC-1231 (Reference (b)), it was pointed out in phone conversations with your staff that some of the lower plenum internals (upper and lower tie plates and shroud tubes) were not represented by heat slabs.
In developing the original Yankee Rowe large break LOCA model it was felt that this small amount of metal would not have an effect on the large break LOCA results and was therefore neglected. However, these heat slabs might have an effect on the predicted lower plenum liquid mass, due to the additional stored energy and therefore have been included in the large break LOCA model in conjunction with the use of the lower plenum phase separation model in Reference (c).
We hope that the addition of the new heat slabs in the lower plenum region will alleviate your concerns. However, if there are further questions, please contact us.
Very truly yours, YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY J. A. Kay Senior Engineer - Licensing JAK/kab k<50.l., S Io 8105120 CSS P
