Subject:

NAC-LWT Bias Evaluation Nishka and Bernie, After our call last week on RAI 4-3, Holger provided the following and the attached data files. This should close out RAI 4-3. For RAI 4-2, at this time we prefer to leave the language on engineering judgement as is. If this is still an issue, just give me a call so we can work through it some more in a timely manner. We still need to get to the DOT and then Canada before the shipments can begin.

NAC updated the USL generation documented in Calculation 91150-1060-016 to determine the USL when eliminating the 20% and under enriched data points.

The data remained normal and results in a minimum USL of 0.9328, slightly lower than the USL determined when including the low enrichment data points. As the amendment requested enrichment is slightly above the validated range (<1wt%), and the USL equation has a negative slope, extrapolating the fitted USL line yields a USL of 0.93255 at 94 wt% enrichment. Change is ~0.0012 from the previously applied USL of 0.9338 (was EALF controlled). This is not considered a safety concern and all calculated values of keff+2s are below the postulated revised USL of 0.9325.

8/24/2020 Gmail - FW: NAC-LWT Bias Evaluation For a consistent data presentation NAC also regenerated the EALCF correlation without the lower enriched fuel. Minimum USL for this correlation is 0.9329 (i.e.,

enrichment would become the bounding correlation).

Thanks.
