Include examples which show how different values of "B" were calculated for two different exposures of the same fuel. The examples should show (1) the relationships (equations) assumed, and (2) the source and numerical values of all terms in the relationship for:

1. maximum Average Planar Linear Heat= Generation Rate (EQPLHGR) and Average Heat Generation Rate (q) (i.e., assumed peaking factors) .
2. Dryout Time. (i.e., h,g'n'"h., flow, average density, q).

That correlation shows the time to boiling transition (dryout time) is a function exclusively of liquid volume fraction and power input to the bundle. Converged HAPLHGR limits and conservative axial power distributions were assumed for the dryout time determinations.

Demonstrate how "B" values are calculated to assure conservatism when using the dryout times assumed in the ECCS analysis.

R~es see As indicated in the above response, nominal values were .used to calculate, the "B" factors. Converged HApLHGR limits and conservative axial power distributions were assumed for t'e dryout time, determinations. 'In addition, a conservative c4rrelation (G.E. compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix K criteria I.C.4:) was used which was previously approved by the Commission.

A "B" Factor Limiting Condition for Operation is not necessary to assure that actual dryout times are conservative. Dryout time is only one of many conservative inputs used to determine HAPL/EGR limits, the ultimate restriction of interest. Sensitivity analyses performed by our fuel supplier have determined that the parameters used to calculate dryout time (void fraction, axial power distributions) are conservative when compared to normal plant operation.
