U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 of 6 Serial: RA-19-0223 Westinghouse identified and communicated in a letter that there were modeling changes and errors in the LOCA evaluation models that were assessed for impact to PCT in 2018. None of the assessments resulted in changes to PCT. The following items are included for information.

VAPOR TEMPERATURE RESETTING Affected Evaluation Model(s):

1996 Westinghouse Best Estimate Large Break LOCA In the WCOBRA/TRAC and WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 codes, when the vapor temperature is greater than the wall temperature, and several other conditions are met, the vapor temperature is reset to the saturation temperature for heat transfer calculations. It was discovered that this vapor temperature resetting logic results in an inconsistency between the conduction solution and the hydraulic solution, such that energy is not conserved between the two solutions. The correction of this error represents a Non-Discretionary Change in the Evaluation Model as described in Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.

Engineering judgement supported by sensitivity calculations showed that correcting this error had minimal impact on LOCA transient calculations, leading to an estimated peak cladding temperature impact of 0 °F.

UO2 Fuel Pellet Heat Capacity Affected Evaluation Model: 1985 Westinghouse Small Break LOCA Evaluation Model with NOTRUMP A typographical error was discovered in the implementation of the UO2 fuel pellet heat capacity as described by Equation C-4 of WCAP-8301 [1] for fuel rod heat-up calculations within the Appendix K Large Break and Small Break LOCA evaluation models. The erroneous formulation results in an overprediction of heat capacity that increases with fuel temperature. The corrected formulation results in a maximum decrease in heat capacity on the order of approximately 1.2%

for existing analyses of record. This represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.

The small over-prediction in UO2 fuel pellet heat capacity has been evaluated to have a negligible effect on existing large and small break LOCA analysis results due to the small magnitude of the change, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0 °F.
