Presentation #8 — PWR Piping By Rob Tregoning and Paul Scott

The second main bullet on VG7 should be decrease with “decreasing” piping size.

Dave Harris disagreed with comment that PFM models had problems modeling mitigation.

There was a problem with VG16 with interpreting results for Panelist L.

A number of the panelists were surprised with VG17 that surge line results for Cat 5 are comparable to that of cold leg.

There is a discrepancy in maximums for Category 6 LOCAs at 25 years between VG19 and 20. VG20 shows participant L having the maximum value while VG19 shows participant B as having the maximum value.

Participant J showed the most impact of age on the LOCA frequencies; really obvious in VG21.

Bruce pointed out that for higher Category LOCAs that there was less uncertainty; may be an artifact that there are less systems than can contribute (only large diameter); also these larger systems are better inspected, i. e., better controlled.

Every plot shown is for 25 years unless specifically stated.
