• PLUS7 CHF data consistent with known physical phenomenon - CHF occurrences downstream the peak local heat flux

• Tong Factor (Fc) relates 𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 to 𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁 - Fc defined in Section4.3 of APR1400-F-C-TR-12002-P

𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 = 𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶

Note that: 𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 < 𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁 (Fc > 1)

• Fc accounts for “memory effect” of non-uniform axial power shape on CHF - Memory effect as reflected in Fc is larger with cosine shape

[ ](a,c)

• Selection of cosine shape is appropriate for capturing effect of

non-uniform axial power distribution on CHF - Relatively large variations of Fc - [ ]TS < Fc < [ ]TS at DNB limiting elevations in the tests - Typical DNB limiting shape with a high radial peaking factor for

design application

• Original Fc developed based on single tube and annuli data – Conservative with CE-1 based on comparisons with test data

from several non-uniform axial shapes – Over-predicts axial power shape effect for fuel bundles with

grid spacers – When uniform and non-uniform MV grid test data are

available, Fc coefficient adjustments [ ](a,c)

• Original Tong Factor applied to KCE-1 – No coefficient adjustment

• Conservative approach for KCE-1 correlation development - Treatment of cosine data as [ ]TS,(a,c) - KCE-1 with [ ] TS,(a,c) under-predicts uniform CHF, because

𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 < 𝑞𝑞𝑞𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶,𝑁𝑁

• Conservative application with original Fc for non-uniform axial power shapes - KCE-1 under-predicts cosine CHF by [ ]TS,(a,c)

• Westinghouse experiences with WNG-1 and other DNB correlations also indicate KCE-1 used with Fc contains DNBR margin for uniform and non-uniform axial shapes

• To clarify 95/95 DNBR limit conservatism, a supplemental response is proposed for submittal to NRC staff – Key technical results are shown in this presentation

• Elements in supplemental response include:

– Clarification on databases for development and design application

– M/P statistics with Fc at MDNBR locations and corresponding 95/95 DNBR values

– M/P trend plots (conservatism in M/P with Fc as compared to limit of 1.124)

– KCE-1 with Fc data table similar to A-3 (with A-2) ToR

• KCE-1 correlation and its 95/95 DNBR limit were conservatively developed using cosine test data [ ]TS,(a,c)

• KCE-1 applications are conservative using original Fc for non-uniform axial power shapes

• Within its applicable range, KCE-1 95/95 DNBR limit of 1.124 is

conservative by about [ ]TS when used with [ ]TS • Conservative uses of Fc in KCE-1 development and

application result in significant margin to offset any potential overfitting without validation data set

The CHF test data for the PLUS7 fuel geometry were obtained by using a non-uniform axial power distribution, a symmetric cosine power profile shape with a peak of 1.475. The applicant should explain the appropriateness of testing single axial profile and why the inlet/bottom or outlet/top peaked power profiles were not included in the test matrix. The applicant should describe how well the tested power distribution represents the actual profile experienced during the operation of the PLUS7 fuel.

As no testing was conducted with uniform axial power distribution, no “non-uniform axial power distribution correction factor, Tong factor FC,” could be developed for the KCE-1 CHF correlation for the tested PLUS7 fuel geometry. Such an optimization of Tong factor for the PLUS7 fuel split vane mixing grid geometries would require testing both uniform and Non-uniform axial power distributions with and without guide thimbles, but

it was not done for the tested PLUS7 fuel geometry. However, the applicant

plans to conservatively use the Tong factor along with the KCE-1 correlation to predict the CHF in the design analyses. The applicant should justify using the CE-1 Correlation Tong factor not developed for the tested PLUS7 fuel geometry. Other CHF correlations generally use Tong factor developed by the test data taken with both uniform and non-uniform axial power profiles.

Detailed investigation of the test data, conducted by the staff, has revealed

a potentially non-conservative sub-region at pressures near 1750 psia, qualities near 0.1, and local mass fluxes near 2 Mlbm/hr-ft2. This Sub-region contains a higher than expected number of M/P values which were below the 95/95 statistic than can be explained by random chance. Provide justification for the use of the KCE-1 correlation in this sub-region, and the surrounding empty sub-regions.

In the development of a correlation, the potential for overfitting exists in which the correlation can predict the data used to develop the correlation well, but lacks in predictive capability on other data not used in the development of the correlation. It is not clear from the topical report whether some test data were initially excluded from the KCE-1 correlation coefficient generation and were used later as additional points for independent correlation validation. The applicant should address the potential for overfitting in the KCE-1 correlation. The applicant should also resolve the inconsistencies among the number of data points reported in various parts of the report. During the PLUS7 fuel CHF tests, [

]TS test data for the thimble subchannel test section Test Section 101 and [ ]TS data for the matrix subchannel test section Test Section 102 were

collected, respectively. The [ ]TS test data points are listed in Table A-1 of APPENDIX A. Table A-2 lists [ ]TS test data points that were rejected during the correlation development process. The applicant needs to explain how this data processing has led to an overall KCE-1 CHF correlation database of [

]TS.”

The two hundred and twenty-five (225) data points cited in the abstract as well as in Section 5.2 of the report are also confusing. Also provide clear descriptions identifying the following: (A) The total number of test points for each test (B) The total number of test points which were used for generating the coefficients of the correlation for each test. (C) The total number of test points which were excluded from calculating the coefficients of the correlation for each test. (D) The validation statistics (similar to that provided in the first table of Table 5-4) for both (B) and (C) above. Statistics should be provided for each test.
