which incorporated modifications for the newly added recirculation pump adjustable speed drives (ASD). The new AOR (Revision 5) updated the LOCA analysis to apply approved updated Westinghouse methods, incorporate previous corrections, and update plant specific inputs.

3. Current Assessment In the referenced letter, Westinghouse reported errors in the current QCNPS LOCA analysis associated with the use of incorrect R-factors. The impact of this change was determined to be an 18 of increase in PCT. For 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes, the PCT increase is conservatively applied to all bundle types including the fresh bundles.

This PCT increase will remain in effect only until the maximum average planar linear heat generation rate (MAPLHGR) limits for all bundles in future QCNPS, Unit 1 and Unit 2 cores are evaluated with the correct R-factors.
