Evaluation of the Maximum Peak Cladding Temperature

In accordance with the method described in Fig. 2.13 [9], the maximum peak cladding temperature of the reference core, the characteristics of which are summarized in Table 2.4 [9], can be obtained as summarized in Table 2.21 [34]. 

The relatively large temperature rises calculated by the subchannel analyses and statistical thermal design shown that these analyses are essential in determining the maximum peak cladding temperature of the Super LWR core. 

Subchannel analysis +58°C from core calculation result (nominal peak) 

Statistical thermal design +32°C from the nominal peak 

Maximum peak cladding surface temperature (with 95% confidence and 95% probability) 740°C
