We don’t use Westinghouse fuel
anymore. Sorry I can’t help much more than that.

Subject: [Pwrrm] Cycle Length
Prediction Error when using Westinghouse 1.5xIBFAs
STP has been experiencing a
difference between predicted cycle lengths and actual EOC burnup (specifically,
over-predictions of cycle length). This effect seems to have begun when
we started using 1.5x (B-10 loading) IFBA. Westinghouse uses their APA package
for our core design. Has any other utility had a similar experience?
